Horse Fever - "Luce Dipinto" by Kent Wea

Artist Statement:
Luce Dipinto (meaning painting with light) is draped with two of my infrared black and white photographs from Marion County. Afternoon Graze which was photographed on the former Bonnie Heath Farm and Noon Shade which was captured south of Ocala on 475. Always with a love for trees, I was never quite happy with the feel of my images, until I discovered infrared black and white. Essentially, all living foliage in direct sunlight reflects infrared light which we can't see. This is what creates the stark contrasts in the highlight areas.

We rode around Marion County to see all the HORSE FEVER horses before they're gone. They will be auctioned off next week to raise money for United Way. To see more about these horses for 2011 click HERE. I have more images of the horses we saw today at my Blipfolio HERE.
