Spring is Here! Right?
Springtime in Westport …it's cooler, windier and foggier here in the Spring as the weather forecasters allude to. It's is milder overall and much more pleasant for taking photographs outdoors.
Horse show season is starting up although I am reducing my involvement this year. An equine cross country schooling event is being held this Sunday at Valinor Farm in Plymouth.
In my new finished I have an impromptu studio area set up for pet and people portrait sessions. there are also many outdoor areas (non-studio) around here for beautiful pet and people portrait sessions.
So, please email me for portrait and sports related session information. I live about 10 miles from Horseneck Beach and other scenic areas : Little Compton, Tiverton and Dartmouth. Anyone need real estate photography? I'm sure I can provide you with a perfect collection to help sell your home.

Purchasing an "Upload Pass"
As some of you may know equestrian events have seen a continued reduction if sales by their riders and families. Some photographers have stopped photographing them altogether. And we photographers are not paid by the show organization to take pictures. Others, as I have, have instituted a form of pre-payment to see individual rider galleries. I have adopted the name - Upload Pass - from another local (Rehoboth) photographer.
Following a day of photographing as many riders as I can during the show, I sort by rider number on my computer. Next, the riders may email me - shoppix@photo.net - to ask if have any photos of them. An alternative, will be to post this list of available rider photos on my Facebook page "Equine Riders" - https://www.facebook.com/groups/163046350409145/?ref=ts . If you have have not "joined" this page of mine, please do so.
OK…so I do have photos of you! Good! Purchase of an "Upload Pass" via PayPal will will tell me to edit your gallery and upload to my website. The upload pass, for regular shows is only $10. The Finals will be $15. I will also email you a complimentary web res image chosen from your gallery.
The Paypal payment should be made to: hoppy02703@yahoo.com
Candid galleries will be continued to be uploaded without any pass required.
Any questions,,and comments… may be emailed to me: shoppix@photo.net

Equestrian Show viewing fee!
RE: photo viewing fee:
Valinor: Images from the June 13th & 14th USEA Horse Trials competition at Valinor Farm in Plymouth, MA
There is now a $15 fee required in order to view photos. The payment is to be processed through PayPal and sent to - hoppy02703@yahoo.com
Following payment, please email me (use my Paypal address above) and I will send you the password to see any of the galleries. You will, in turn, be emailed two free Facebk/web res image files that you choose.
*Unfortunately, many equine photographers who still photograph horse shows have had to institute similar fees. There have been declining sales the past few years. We spend at least the same amount of show time following the show as we sort, select and upload images to our websites.
Thank you for your understanding.
