The message subject is: Photography Well done, I am a Professional photographer in the Yorkshire region who also does event photography. I have been looking at equestrian sites after accidentally being asked to cover a event for my local paper. I have been appalled by the lack of quality in this field, which seems to be shot by weekend warriors who just want to make a quick buck from events. However after seeing your site I do realize there are decent photographers out there. I do not often come across another photographer that blows my socks off, but when I do, I feel praise should be mentioned. WELL DONE. Philip Bramhill LBIPP Yorkshire Region Press and P.R. Photographer of the Year 2008

The message subject is: Photograph. Hello, I am a painter from Canada, and I am wondering if you would be offended if I painted one of your photographs of Ellen Whitaker from the 2008 hickstead derby? It would be more of a reference than an actual copy of the photograph. Whitney Rutherford

The message subject is: A Thank You The message they left is: Steve Had hoped I might catch up with you this evening at Hannah's usual lesson with Fiona. Its been a longtime coming (since Emily's birthday), but I had wanted to say thank you for the time and your personal efforts with the photography at Emily's Gymkhana last month. I have been a little too busy, and have failed to show my appreciation to you. But that has now been corrected and I have made sure that all our appreciation is in the back of her car, and hopefully she'll catch up with you at the stables sometime this week. All the best, hope all your girls are well and look forward to a catch up soon. Ben

Steve -I know what a challenge it is to shoot this sport but the results are so satisfying! Your other marathon photo of Randy is superb-- I can feel the breeze as she goes by. We will probably open with that on a big spread and inset the closeup of the medal being hung around her neck after Cones. I love having quality art like this to work with and cannot thank you enough. Best regards, Sandra. P.S. - I will send a few suggestions for carriage driving photography separately but you seem to be doing pretty well by dead reckoning. Sandra Cooke, Editor, The Whip (American Driving Society)
