Title:Country Theater Seating
The image was taken at Horse Progress Days in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania in the summer of 2024. Horse Progress Days is an annual exhibition of work horses and the mechanized farm equipment that they pull, and the exhibition rotates between the states having concentrations of Amish and Mennonite farmers, including Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Pennsylvania. The boys shown here are intently watching a horse training demonstration. Amish families attending tend to all dress in the same color; some families wear red shirts and dresses, others blue, green, orange, purple, etc. Horse Progress Days is a very colorful event!

Biography:
I am a practicing small animal veterinarian who began to photograph wildlife about twelve years ago. My interest started in seeing the animals and then grew into photography as I saw the photos that others were taking on trips. I am increasingly finding ways to be more creative in my photography so that the images are artistic and not merely representational. |
