Pictures Horses have of themselves

If horses studied photography and got very very good at it, these are exactly the sorts of pictures they would be most proud of. Mr. Eastmen's photographs seem to capture how horses wish to think of themselves and their family and friends. Dreamy and evocative, in sepia tones that do more for character than straight forward color prints ever seem to. As a painter of horses I continue to be mesmerized by this collection and refer to it often for inspiration.

Wonderful!!

Eastman is a very talented photographer that has the ability to capture the true spirit of the horse. His pictures are nothing short of breath taking! If you are a horse lover, make it a point to purchase this book. You will enjoy it over and over again.

BEAUTIFUL

Eastman has done a fabulous job! He portrays a side of the horse not often seen with his stunning photographs filled with motion and beauty. Each photo pictures a horse frozen in time, in all of it's equine splendor. This is truly a must have.

Wow. I mean, wow. Really, wow. No, wow.

Really, Michael has that gift of seeing what others don't see and capturing it in the lens. What you'll see in these images if you're open enough, is pure love. The love Michael has, obviously, for these creatures, wild, free and noble. But also you'll see these animal's love for life itself in their expressions and the briefly-captured energy of their movements. Each page suitable for framing, each page dares you to stroke it and imagine the sweat of the hides and smell the unmistakable odor of a living horse. In fact, most of the images are so beautiful, you could crop out the horses and still have raw beauty.
