Introducing The SeaHorse and Carrot Island Collection


One late May I spent a few days in Beaufort, North Carolina where I photographed the Carrot Island Wild Horses. By far the most memorable morning was the one I spent bobbing up and down on a small boat witnessing a captivating drama as the tide started its retreat. Four horses, each with a distinct persona, engaged in a dance of communication.

These images capture the essence of those fleeting moments, freezing in time the raw beauty and unbridled spirit of the Carrot Island Wild Horses, and I am sure they will be a stunning fine art addition to your home or office.


SeaHorses

 
 
 

A young stallion, full of youthful vigor, persistently sought the attention of a mare, painting a picture of untamed romance in the wild.

 

SeaHorses Two

 
 
 
 

The dynamic between this wild horse pair was captivating, with the young stallions relentless persistence in his pursuit of the mare's affections. Their interactions were endlessly entertaining, as the stallion's determined efforts played out against the backdrop of their beautiful surroundings.

 
 

 

Coastal Breeze

 
 
 
 
 

The allure of black and white photography lies in its ability to accentuate details that often go unnoticed. In the absence of color, every element becomes starkly defined, drawing attention to even the most subtle features.

In this particular image, a wild coastal horse stands gracefully against the backdrop of its rugged environment. The windswept mane and the fuzzy ears stand out in crisp clarity, a closer look reveals a scattering of salty sand clinging to the horse's coat, a testament to its untamed existence in a harsh coastal landscape.

Although this horse appears tranquil in its surroundings, the reality of its existence is far from easy. Roaming the shores of a small island off the coast of North Carolina, these wild horses must navigate a challenging environment with limited resources. This photograph beautifully encapsulates the juxtaposition of beauty and hardship that defines the lives of the Wild Horses of Carrot Island.

 
 

 
 

Tradewind

 
 

The gentle off-shore breeze caressed the coastline, ruffling the mane of a wild horse standing alone, his eyes fixed on the horizon. In the distance, the rest of the herd grazed peacefully, their silhouettes merging with the hues of their coastal setting. The quiet beauty of the moment captured the untamed spirit of this herd of wild horses, embodying a sense of freedom and harmony with nature.

 
 

 

face off

 
 
 
 
 

Amidst the rugged beauty of the wild landscape, two stallions engaged in a silent yet potent dialogue. In a departure from the usual dramatic clashes, they embarked on a mesmerizing dance of dominance.

Locking eyes in a moment of raw intensity, these stallions silent exchange echoed through the stillness, a display of power and restraint intertwined. Time appeared to stand still and when the tension reached its peak, a subtle shift occurred. Like a gentle breeze dispersing storm clouds, with a silent understanding, these stallions acknowledged the unspoken boundaries between them and parted ways, each retracing their steps to their awaiting bands.

In this rare moment of balance, nature revealed its quiet strength—the art of conflict diffused, harmony restored. As I captured this silent face off, I marveled at the intricate language spoken by these wild horses on Carrot Island.

 
 
 

 

Morning Has Broken

 
 
 
 
 

There is something so beautiful as morning breaks and the first light of dawn creeps over the horizon, you can feel the the coolness of the early morning air slowly giving way to a welcoming warmth.  That warmth cast such a soft glow on this young horse as he stood in the beach grass.

seahorses four

 
 
 
 
 

Photographed in North Carolina between Shackleford and Carrot Island, these four wild horses were part of a small herd of Carrot Island wild horses that had gathered on a sandbar. They were waiting for the tide to go out so they could head back to the island. It was fascinating to have a window into the daily life of this herd of coastal wild horses, and watch them resting and interacting with each other as the ocean water lapped around their feet.

see You

 
 
 
 
 

As the morning sun spread its warm embrace over Carrot Island, the thunderstorms of the previous night had subsided. In the tranquility of the new day, a small group of horses lay nestled together. Among them, a mare's head popped up, sensing approaching footsteps. Her eyes met mine, watching me and telling me, I see you.
