Amazing series All the Wild Horses by photographer Andrew McGibbon.
Artist’s statement:
“For thousands of years the horse has been mankind’s closest ally. The horse made travel and development possible. We tethered, weighted and reigned them. We captured, stabled and trained them.
Ever willing, the horse was the magnificent tool of man’s ingenuity. The Horse is a beast of legend, taking on its own character, personality, emotion and mythology. However, with the advent of the steam engine the horse was made obsolete, and now they are resigned to the realm of shows and races, a world of equestrian sport, a mere shadow of the beast’s former glory.
‘All The Wild Horses’ is a tribute to the beast that has made much of what we call life possible. The images are unique and have a style to them reminiscent of the portraiture of the rich and famous. The artist has attempted, and succeeded, to show a sense of personality and emotion – sadness in some cases and pride in others.”

“On Problems
Our choicest plans
have fallen through,
our airiest castles
tumbled over,
because of lines
we neatly drew
and later neatly
stumbled over”

New motto?
I love quotes from authors.
Since “War is Coming” this Sunday, I’ll do a give away thingie. I’ll give away one of the Game of Thrones prints I made. This is the hyper colored version, aka, “I messed with the color settings and I kind of liked how it came out, but it’s too colorful”. I’ll also throw in random good stuff.
If you want in on this joint, just reblog this post and I’ll pick a winner on Sunday, April 15th, 9PM EST.
I am excited!

I feel like that is always the answer.
