Default Nice site for Saratoga pics
Good friend of mine is quickly becoming a well known horse photographer. His site is wwwsilksatsunrise.com. Get a peak at the Oklahoma training track and main track from 2005 & 2006.

Take a look when you have the time. Some great pics of Bernardini jock Castellano talking to him on the backstretch while warming up last year. Click on Whats new and click on the pic of the Mig on 7/29/06. Last pic on the bottom.

If there isn't AT LEAST one picture of Steve Byk in his tunic we may have to have this advertisement removed from the site.


























Just kidding.

That he is... what a ham.

He looks a lot like Duckhorn in that picture. (Another beauty.)

I was going to comment on it in another thread, but didn't want to go off topic.

The Saratoga photos are grand, all great shots of horses, trainers, and exercise riders.

His skill photographing songbirds and waterfowl is outstanding. A tremendous talent given his subjects are miniscule, and elusive, when compared to filling one's frame with 1600lb horseflesh.

Calm and ease move over us when viewing beauty such as this. Thank you for sharing your friend's site.

You are more than welcome, aside from horses, I love birds and it was a joy to see such beautiful work. I'll go back to Silksatsunrise.com and Through-my-Lens.com
