Don,
Fabulous photos! You have a real future in your new second career!

Lynn Symansky 29-May-2007 01:39
You have a great eye and impeccable timing for capturing the PERFECT shot. These are some of the best I've ever seen. Thank you to taking such wonderful pictures, and leaving me with great memories of our first Rolex. Had you not said anything, I would have never guessed it was your first Rolex too!

Don,

Thanks to your wife Leslie for posting the photo gallery link in COTH BB. LOVE the photos!!!! Makes it like I am there all over again. I know it's been said many times before. You definitely "have an eye" for capturing the moment. It was my fourth consecutive year at Rolex and as always I had a blast glad you did too and hope you will be at Rolex 2008 as the "Official" photographer so we can get your photo's posted on the Rolex 3-Day Website. Jane Atkinson are you out there listening : ) You should also submit these photos to USEA official magazine "EVENTING" for there next issue which will feature Rolex.

Many thanks again for the memories.

Take care to you, Lynn and of course Maurice ; )

Don,
A good friend sent me the link to your photos, ...they are incredible just as everyone is saying. You did a fantastic job-every bit as good as, and better than some of the pro photos I have seen. Great equipment is a wonderful thing to have, but when you get the right person using it... thats when you get stunning images like these.

Don, If you're seriously looking for a second career, I think you've found it. Of course, now we'll expect you to show up at our little horse trials around here and make us look as good as the Rolex competitors!

Guest 06-May-2007 22:30
Don - I'm so glad to see your enjoying yourself and sharing with all of us. Miss seeing you all!!!

Mary Jo 05-May-2007 15:33
Rolex-07-Dres_D2X_3722w.jpg This photo is just awesome! YOu can see every vein in that horse's neck. Your compositions are perfect.

Guest 05-May-2007 15:25
Don,
I enjoyed lookin at your shots. I haven't been able to get back down there for awhile, but these help keep me intouch. It's a fun time isn't it!!!! A second career has been rumbling for awhile now.

Lindsay 05-May-2007 15:01
You have some wonderful photos and real talent! Thanks for sharing

Guest 05-May-2007 10:07
Fantastic photos!! You've captured Rolex for those of us who couldn't be there!

Thank you!

Beth Libby 05-May-2007 03:02
Hi Don,
I really enjoyed your outstanding collection of Rolex photos. You really have an eye for capturing the "moment." Hope you will continue to photograph equine events. These are exceptional. - Beth Libby

bonnie 05-May-2007 02:01
Don,
You have a great new career ahead of you! (photos...not drinking!) Thanks for making Rolex come alive to those of us who were not there. Next year!

Pam Bishop 04-May-2007 17:40
Don,
These photos are terrific, when one of my boys get there...I want you there too!!! Gonzo is trying his hand/hoof at eventing now, while Beau recoups! Thanks Leslie for the invitation to Don's magnificent Rolex pictorial! Pam

Michelle 04-May-2007 16:46
My friend Jean T sent me the link for these, and I am thrilled she did! I thought when I began opening them you were a profesional, and reading the comments I see that you were just playing! You have a great eye, awesome creativity and blow away many of the equine photos I have seen!!! Thanks so much for sharing!!!

Guest 04-May-2007 15:55
I just love your Teddy pictures. Thank you!

diane toeniskoetter 04-May-2007 15:30
Great job! Looks like a lot of fun and no rain! I especially like the face in the "odds and ends". What a hunk! For a minute, I though it was a self portrait!

Jane Liesmann 04-May-2007 14:30
Don - You captured the heart and soul of Rolex. Thanks for sharing!

Anne Weber 04-May-2007 13:14
Don
These are among the best horse photos I have ever seen, and I am a connoisseur! After subject matter like this, sculpture might be too boring, but Harry is still hoping you'll visit and talk to him about a project...
What a treat these pictures are - I enjoyed this Rolex almost as much as being there! Thanks!

Jane Walters 04-May-2007 13:14
Don,
Your photos are incredible. Really fun for those of us that weren't at Rolex to get
to see so much of the action. Thanks for sharing.

Jane Walters

Guest 04-May-2007 12:53
Don
You photos are fantastic. You have a wonderful talent for capturing all the action. I see you will have a great second career!!

Diane 04-May-2007 12:22
Always feel I am part of the trip when I see your photos. Again, thanks for taking me along.

D.C. McBroom 04-May-2007 09:25
Don,
An absolutely spectacular collection of photographs. You're talent for capturing the essence, along with the image, of each moment exceeds that of many of the professional equine photographers. In addition, you managed to so something that very few other photographers have done. You actually got a picture of the ever serious Phillip Dutton on a horse with what appears to be a smile on his face. Well done! BTW, Woody and Tex send their best to Maurice.

Stacy Treacy 04-May-2007 07:09
Don,
Thank you for providing a means for the "less adventurous" rest of us to experience Rolex. My favorite photos are those in the XC set that capture the talent and emotion of both horse and rider. Leslie, I do believe you and Maurice are ready for next year! He gets my vote. Let me guess...Jill's pink cooler scooter?! Thanks for sharing your unbelievable gift, Don. God Bless!
Stacy Treacy

Russ Griechen 04-May-2007 05:36
Hello Don,
Your collective works are indeed a masterpiece! You really capture the essence of horsemanship.
...and may I say hello to your gracious wife.
Best Regards
Russ Griechen

Joanie McKenna 04-May-2007 04:27
Don,
Are you selling these? To the riders? To others? They are fantastic. Thanks for sharing.

Beverley Heffernan 04-May-2007 04:15
Don, great pics, thanks for sharing!

Amanda 04-May-2007 03:51
Awesome!

Guest 04-May-2007 00:06
Hi Don.
Give some thought to doing this professionally. These really are much better than the ones in the magazines. The cross country ones are stunning.

Margaret

Elaine Taylor 03-May-2007 22:41
Don -
All I can say is WOW! These pictures are amazing. The XC are my favorites. Maurice looks pretty awesome, too. Okay, I guess "WOW" is not all I can say.
THANK YOU so much for sharing these. I had a great time with you guys - hopefully you will be a regular!
Elaine

Lisa Truttmann 03-May-2007 20:51
Don,
Your photography as usual is exceptional. I want to expecially comment that age is serving you well...with each stage of life you just get better looking!

Lisa T.

Mary 03-May-2007 20:19
Hello Don,
As usual, I have fallen in love with all of them. We need to get you a pinney next year, so you don't get harrassed, as much. I would imagine the riders would love to see these. I think they are better than the ones the magazines print.

susan muller 03-May-2007 14:24
Don, these are wonderful pictures. We had a great time with you guys, and can not wait till next year.

Alice Dobbs 03-May-2007 13:49
Don,

These photos are tremendous! Are you a professional photographer? You certainly could be if you're not! Gee, if you go to events with Leslie, I'd buy photos from you!

Alice Dobbs

Jill Wagenknecht 03-May-2007 12:18
Don,
Your photos are FABULOUS! I really love the dressage photos - close-ups of concentration are great! Now you have to come to Rolex every year!
Cheers,
Jill
