*** Photo Editing Update ***

We appreciate your patience, I apologize for underestimating how much we would photograph at our first AEC, and how long it would take to curate your reality.

On the positive, memories do not expire and we did not compromise our comprehensive approach to event coverage. 20 years of experience has taught me that many times the non-traditional moments are the important ones to the subject.

If you took advantage of the pre-sale, and your gallery is loaded, the instructions for your package have been emailed. Enjoy!

Currently only Novice and Training are still in the editing process.

It’s official, I have my credentials. (What once was a typo has become a ritual with Equestrian Events, Inc., and a good laugh for all of us.) A close eye was kept on me as I started planning XC coverage.

The afternoon before leaving for AEC would not be complete without making more space, taking the new trimmer for a spin, only to be stopped by a tornado warning that I used to cut up some road melon and then getting back to packing.

The weeds will be here when I get back and am properly dressed.

The Fair Hill International / flamingos didn't want to play, but too bad for them my test frame caught them. If we got you through the water, I can give you the bird(s).
