Rich Pomerantz

After working on this week's assignment, I began looking through a book a received for my 18th birthday called Wild Horses of the Dunes, by Rich Pomerantz.  It is a collection of photographs and text about the wild horses in North Carolina on Chincoteague and Assateague Island.  Almost every photograph is enhanced by its relationship with the light.  Whether it is a setting sun and silhouette, or the reflection of the water or a horses eye.  Each picture is beautiful and truly gives you the feeling of being present on the islands.  They are especially appealing to me because of my love of horses.  The photographer lives in Hartford, CT and his photos have appeared in National Geographic, Frommer's Guide to Virginia, and other well known publications.  It was interesting to view this book after working on our light assignment.
