A BOOK FOR TRUE LOVERS OF EQUINES AND THE AMERICAN WEST! In Rocky Mountain Equines, wildlife-landscape photographer and nature writer Lochlainn Seabrook has assembled some 325 of his captivating photos of domestic horses, donkeys, and mules (as well as farm and ranch related images) from the American West, resulting in an eye-catching compendium of Big Sky-themed animal pictures that are both entrancing and educational. Covering the northern, central, and southern Rocky Mountain regions of Wyoming, Seabrook journeyed thousands of miles over a period of several years-through both town and wilderness and all four seasons-to photographically capture his equine subjects and their environments.
Unlike many other coffee table/photography books, however, Rocky Mountain Equines is not a journalistic account of the author's travels, with lists of his cameras, lenses, and f-stop settings, nor does he include personal captions with his photos. Rather, this work is precisely what his subtitle states: A Photographic Collection of Horses, Donkeys, and Mules of the America West. Thus, this is intended to be a simple photo book dedicated to the three most popular, living, North American members of the Equidae family-one that allows the reader to enjoy Seabrook's equitatious compilation without the interference of wordy interpretations. Rounding out this colorful mammalian volume the author-photographer includes a descriptive introduction and a bibliography.
If you are a hippophile, or merely an admirer of the Western U.S., you will enjoy this artistically crafted, highly visual celebration of all things horsey from Seabrook's American West Nature Series, specifically designed to beautify any home, office, or commercial location. Rocky Mountain Equines is available in paperback and hardcover. (All text copyright © Sea Raven Press)
