Moments to Memories
Photography
Put your camera away and enjoy the moment!

"All my life I have loved photographs. Whether old or new, complex or simple, posed or unexpected, the very moment in time they capture is of great interest to me.  What is photographed and put to paper will never be seen again like that moment in time.  My goal is to capture these moments, so they may be remembered in the days, years, or decades to come."  Linda K. Toups

NATRC - Sweet Home Alabama - April 29 & 30, 2006

There is always fun to be had at Bridlewood Boarding Stables.  This time, some of that fun - riding fun that is - was mine.  Below is what happens when you give your friend your Nikon D70 with the 70-300mm lens with all the settings locked in (hoping they will work) and a quick 1 minute lesson!!  In exchange, I got to ride two of Robin's horses and let her catch me in a smile or two.

Since this was all in fun, I had to have some fun with captions for a change.  I always throw in an appropriate one now and then in my galleries, but this calls for setting the tone of just how much fun visiting this place can be.  Sit back, enjoy Robin's handi-work and my editing work!  Not bad Robin, not bad!

These photos are copyrighted by standard copyright laws!  

If you are interested in purchasing those photos stamped with Robin's name, it will require permission from her to print it.  Most of these photos are so tightly cropped they will not print well beyond 4x6 size.  Even so, if you are interested, contact me and I will let you know if we can print it for you.  Thank-you and Enjoy!
