This past Sunday Carla and I had a wicked fun anniversary shoot with jen and bob. We were headed up to Carla's friends house, who has horses, when we came across this cool grassy field. It was a total violation and blatant disregard of the multiple, "clearly posted" No trespassing signs around the property. Carla insisted we trespass, and possibly face a slew of criminal charges, for the sake of photography.
So I was only able to take a few pictures of bob and jen in the field due to a very irate citizen concerned about us being in the field. So Carla forced me to go speak with the guy and plead with him not to call the po-po. After dazzling him with my charming ways he agreed that involving the "boys" was not a good idea.
When then made it up to Julia's horse farm which was freakin awesome. I knew that both Jen and I were in our glory. I never really got to close to a horse before, which I must admit they were very intimidating at first.
This is one of the shots I got from the parking lot of Starbucks, one of my favorite places, Starbucks not the parking lot. Carla emailed me a great picture that she took of me shooting in the location but I can't get into my email right now, dam Apple and their maintenance bull crap. I'm starting to take to the idea of shooting in the least desirable of areas and making it work, which I think it did. Carla and I got some cool pics from here.
I think this guy was either jealous or mad that jen and bob were in his stall.
This horse, or living lawn mower, mowed down a large section of grass in no time. It was awesome, but I don't think I have a big enough yard for one, DAM. So Julia if your ever around East Hartford bring yours horses on by, please!!
While driving around Carla went crazy over this next location, which had beautiful light and a electrical fence, AWESOME! NO trespassing here I guess
Our last stop was some random corn field in Simsbury. It was fun to shoot here, watching how nervous Jen and Carla were because of the creepy animal noises. And I guess pointing out the crazy paw impression, with super huge sharp claws, didn't help matters.
Bob and Jen, you guys were awesome and very easy to work with, naturals in front of the lens. Thanks for making it such a fun time.
