Creativity is a driving force in itself, but a mentor can help untangle that curse of self-doubt that most artists wrestle with at times. You may not have had a "Franz" in your life, per se, but I am certain that you are being a "Franz" to many others. Your words of encouragement always make me feel like I'm staying on the right course. Thank you, Deborah!

And I so love the way this tale of an exquisite horse photo has a motion all its own, full circle. Short of one person (yes, my mother) who sent me inspirational tidbits from newspapers, etc., plus a hand-written note I still have -- 'Never give up' -- I suppose what drives me to fulfill my potential is a sense that I cannot imagine my life without writing. LIke any person pursuing a creative endeavor, there are moments of extreme doubt -- why am I doing this? Then I remind myself of words of encouragement from other writers, editors, etc., over the years and this extraordinary, evolving community I now find myself in.

I'm glad you enjoyed this image so much. I love the power and fluidity of the horses. They are beautiful animals. Thanks for taking the time to swing by my blog and leave a comment.

It's fun to share this story about Franz and let other people know what a wonderful person and photographer he was. Even if we haven't all had a "Franz" in our lives, it's a good reminder to try to be a "Franz" to somebody else, especially when we see potential.

I hope your daughter does as well. I have not seen Portrait of Jennie, but is sounds like I should! Thanks for suggesting it. And yes, Franz will always be a wonderful reminder about encouraging somebody when you see potential. So many people think these things, but don't always take that extra step to let the person know. I can make a huge difference in somebody's confidence. Nancy, I’m glad you enjoyed this image. I hope your daughter does as well. I have not seen Portrait of Jennie, but is sounds like I should!

As someone who has been around horses since birth, it is striking to me because of the movement. As you mention, so many photographers "freeze" the image and while beautiful in their own right we miss seeing the power and motion that makes them such amazing animals. Such a great shot! In addition your story is wonderful. What a great memory you share here with us all. Thanks for the beautiful visual and written art. A great way to start the day.

This creation of Jeffrey will be top of my favorite list among all those wonderful images you posted till now. Becky, you wrote each part of this blog so beautifully; I can tell you this one is a really inspiring post. "After navigating the steep, windy road overlooking town, he parks his car next to a small meadow where horses are being boarded for the winter. The wind is blowing, flakes are sailing, and the horses begin running as soon as Jeffrey gets out of his car.Jeffrey raises his camera and captures poetry in motion." - This part was simply outstanding.

I feel like it celebrates and symbolizes America's wild youth, early history so well. I can't wait to show it to my friend, Trisha, as she loves horses. By any chance, is it for sale? The photo of the two children climbing the steps reminds me of Hansel and Gretel. They are so endearing. Out of all the photos in motion here, the horses are my favorite.
