August Favorites

August, the Sunday of Summer. A time in our community when many things came to a close: last game of the horseshoe league, the final days of summer for students, and a farewell to water frolic. It was also the culmination of a story I had been working on for several months, chronicling the journey of high schooler Joia and her young mustang horse, Gypsy, from their first encounter to competition day at the Youth Mustang Makeover in Massachusetts. Another favorite of the month was photographing Hazel, who celebrated her 108th birthday by teaching a fitness class.
