Laren Bridges When you take time to look at a seemingly average gate, such as this one, there are many details that can pique your interest. I appreci- ate the sign, because my father, a rancher in Andrews and Nolan counties, has been a member for years. I don’t think much about my composition; I shoot what is pleasing to me. It never seems to be level, centered or straight, but that’s what I prefer. This was February 2007. It was raining. Adam Jahiel This image was made in a cow camp in northern Nevada. I have always been obsessed with light and form. I find that it is always a challenge to make photographs of horses, or anything else for that manner, that are unique and that tell a story or ask a question and give the viewer room to play. Most of my images are gut reactions; I often shoot first and ask questions later. Cenizo Third Quarter 2011 21
