There was once a time i spent a lot of time around horses.. and sometimes i do miss that for sure.. I was looking for some old images and came across these images which are outtakes from a fashion story.. I am excluding the fashion story.. just this beautiful black friesian stallion</p>http://www.marksquiresphotodiary.com/post/735338475http://www.marksquiresphotodiary.com/post/735338475Fri, 25 Jun 2010 14:27:00 -0400<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l3tu3xpg2p1qzk2xwo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l3tu3xpg2p1qzk2xwo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l3tu3xpg2p1qzk2xwo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l3tu3xpg2p1qzk2xwo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l3tu3xpg2p1qzk2xwo6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l3tu3xpg2p1qzk2xwo7_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l3tu3xpg2p1qzk2xwo8_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><h2>The National for Rolling Stone</h2> <p>I went out to Williamsburg Brooklyn to Fast Ashley’s Studio to shoot <a href="http://" target="_blank">The National</a> for the July issue of <a href="http://www.rollingstone.com" target="_blank">Rolling Stone</a>.

On this day Natasa & I were doing a Serbian inspired Gypsy story.. here are just a bunch of images (never shown) from one set up where i let her hold the light and dance to traditional Serbian Music..
