Valley Homes work

Tony

Just before we left on our holiday week off, I did a little more work for the latest issue of Valley Homes and Style.

Our first destination was the Yellow Brick Bank and head chef Karl. One of their creations is a collapsed chocolate souffle. This one was adorned with fresh whipped cream, raspberries (which are out of season) and some mints to dress up the vision. Karl spent some time with us to explain why seasonal foods are so important to a good menu in his restaurant. As someone who both enjoys cooking and enjoys eating, I was fascinated.

Here’s his creation.

Then we visited a house in Martinsburg. The owners there have spent a lot of time renovating this old treasure, and showed us around for quite awhile. He wanted to show us everything, but we ran short on time. I took this gem in their beautiful front room. Email me if you’d like to see some more images from this house, or just check the latest issue of Valley Homes and Style.

Horses

Tony
Yes… I said horses.

A gentleman from a horse-racing partnership contacted me earlier in the year about photographing some of his company’s horses. I said sure, and he gave me some details of what he was looking for.

When he called back to set things up, he told me there were two horses. In short, I was going to be doing action photography of horses, with a few headshots if that was possible. Since I really don’t see horse racing as much different than sports action, the shots were pretty easy. Fortunately the weather cooperated.

This is one of about 20 shots of the two horses in full stride.
