Featured Galleries

"The Vanishing Wild Horse" Series 2009 : "Now you see them....soon you won't." I feel fortunate to roam with them from time to time and experience their world first hand. The smell of fresh sage and morning dew is where I sit to watch them- Often at heights of 8,000 feet bands roam together, bachelors finding company with each other, and stallions chasing others away. There are no real fence lines just freedom one that I pray will remain. If we don't take a moment in our lives to help them they will be gone forever. Our children will never know the rush of a band of wild ones passing them by with thunderous hooves in the tall sage and yarrow, or just simply knowing that they still run free when we lay our heads on our pillows at night. All proceeds go to assist the old horses that have been removed from the wild, horses I have photographed that are in need, and to continue my work on documenting our wild horses that are vanishing with nearly every click of my camera. There is nothing like seeing a wild horse running free owned by no one. Thank you for caring, All the best, Rachael

The Amazing Band- Del Castillo -Paz, Amor, Y Musica Latina! : An "always work in progress" collection of the band Del Castillo. I am proud and honored to be on this journey with them, there isn't a better bunch of people I could pop in, photograph, laugh with, take it all with a grain of salt, travel with, and support then these five men that have become brothers to me. Together, we create a view into the world of Del Castillo, the band, individual members, on the road, private shots and more. All shot in personal moments, group sessions, in laughter and the beauty of natural light (whenever possible!). The hope is to bring their fans, old, new, just discovered together in unity with the band. We welcome you to this documentary journey with the amazing band Del Castillo! If you are new to the world of Del Castillo please take a moment to check out their music via their web site. For more on Del Castillo and the wonderful music they create please visit www.DelCastillomusic.com They rock! New photos will be coming soon via the other gallery (shots from the recent tour, live, backstage, fun moments, and DVD shoot!).. more shots added to this gallery everyday! I think the Rolling Stone & Billboard quotes below will have you seeking more.. Enjoy! GET ADDICTED! Feel free to leave a comment we all love to read them! "Del Castillo are a high-energy Chicano band from Austin that sings in Spanish, combining old-school Gitano with flailing nuevo flamenco florishes and churning polyrhythmic percussion. Their secret weapons are brothers Rick and Mark Del Castillo, whose tumbling brilliance on nylon-string classical guitars features jaw-dropping dual leads. These eruptions of technique and taste conjure images of Eddie Van Halen fronting early Santana (with an assist from the Gypsy Kings)." - Rolling Stone This Austin-based sextet has become one of the happening bands in a town where catching ears is no small feat. The del Castillo brothers, Rick and Mark, play Spanish guitars, which gives the group a distinctive string sound, underwritten by a heavyweight rhythm section. "Brotherhood" features songs in English and Spanish, and includes Willie Nelson on a tune he wrote, "I Never Cared for You." Whether Del Castillo works in Spanish or English, it rocks righteously. The Spanish guitars' flamenco vibe gives a dramatic flair, abetted by Alex Ruiz's passionate vocals. They pull together Latin music's romance and rock's grit. The result is such blistering tracks as "Vida Latina" and "Arena Al Viento." - Philip Van Vleck, Billboard

Lifesavers Wild Horse Rescue ~Saving The 3 Strikes Mustangs " Day 1 : A photographic journey of 26 survivors of the 3 Strikes mustang rescue. Day one. May 11, 2009 Mother's Day. Quoted to be "the worst animal neglect case in Nebraska history." Jason Meduna owner and so called "mustang trainer" was arrested for one count of animal cruelty and now out on bail faces a court date. The vet report states that these horses were not poisoned as Jason claimed, but riddled with parasites and were starved aka lack of care and feed. Feel free to google his name for more of the story. This gallery isn't about HIM, it is about these near death horses that need kind humans. Although many of these images may be very hard to look at for some. It is important to document this case and all cases of rescue work. I hope you will find the beauty in them because they are living breathing hopeful faces that have been to hell and back. With good human angels around them they are now truly free to live. While looking, if you are like me, you will believe in the will to live and having hope in this world. Because if there are any living beings that could humble a person it was watching this herd arrive, weak, stumbling to the hay, rolling but having trouble getting up, some beyond thin, other's knocking at deaths door, some mares trying to nurse their equally weak foals, but all arrived alive and with groceries and love surrounding them. Thanks to Jill Starr of Lifesavers Wild horse rescue for being on the scene in Neb, and loving wild horses enough to bring in yet another herd in need. To read more about Jill Starr's personal account please visit www.wildhorserescue.org Donations and sponsors needed. A portion of all gallery sales ( this includes all galleries) will go directly to these horses until they are healthy. Please follow our journey as one by one you are introduced to them and via photography capture them finding life and love in a new world. In part of my "photography rescue" photo and written documentary. Many blessings to these brave little souls and to those who have the courage to view and help them. Comments welcome Please be sure to check out the DAY 6 Gallery to see the newborn filly "Wildflower" and to keep up with how the rest of the herd already looks in less then a week! Kudos to Jill and Lifesavers!

Canyon Creek Horse Rescue : ~Every photograph has a story this is Canyon Creek’s~ My passion for this farm started late one afternoon in Oct 2005 I stood in the pasture with my camera in hand as the first load of babies ran past me, some stopped to see what I was up to, scared, curious, all separated from the herd they had known all their lives.. babies from their momma’s ...momma's from babies who had already gone to slaughter or live shipped to Europe & Asia for human consumption. I felt a stillness then a faint echo...of the one's that weren't here. I am proud & honored to have photographed their lives...With the hope that my work may help to change the view of PMU horses- leaving the stigma behind..one herd and image at a time.

So.California Firestorm-Ramona Horses Saved : On October 25th our ranch was contacted to help haul 80 bales of hay donated to the Emergency Animal rescue location in Ramona who helped over 300 horses evacuated from the fire in Ramona California. Ramona is roughly 3 hours from our ranch and traffic was tough through the closed roads. We had access to areas that were burned out completely. Where once beautiful ranch homes stood now were just a pile of ash and smoke. Like our friend Carol said "This is like a war zone." we drove past dairy farms with smoldering manure piles, family homes with just the iron gates left, burned out trees, and mountains to come upon our end destination. Our hearts went out to every family we saw along the way who were standing in a daze as they cleaned up what was left of their homes. We asked those with horses along the way if they needed any hay. Everyone was ok at least for now. We donated our services, hauling hay, loading and unloading it, walking horses, feeding carrots, photography services for identification, and general kindness. All the horses were in the wonderful hands of EAR when we arrived. Water had arrived a few days before so the horses were starting to perk up. Many had already been identified by owners who had to evacuate so fast they didn't have time to take their horses with them. One family looked for four days before finding their horses and were so happy to just sit in an arena and share the peace with them again. While my photography was no longer needed for ID purposes (thank goodness!) I photographed my experience and our journey through the aftermath and smoke to a lovely ranch where the horses were safe and the firefighters were smiling. Thank you to the wonderful folks from EAR, Rebecca the Hay coordinator, East Valley Feed, and the wonderful people who donated time, money, love, and kindness to the horses from Ramona. We wish you all the best you are awesome! For more information on how you can help please contact www.cacares.net www.emergencyanimalrescue.org Enjoy! Rachael

Rocking H Ranch Miniature Horses : In the mountains of Agua Dulce California there is a special place called Rocking H Ranch. Owned by Dick & Susan Hardie who have been breeders and owners of mini's for nearly 30 years. I first met Dick and Susan last summer and now own one of their babies "Squirt" we love them and hope that you will enjoy a look into a world that is small but mighty, where the fence is thigh high, and two stallions rule the roost and laying in the grass to shoot is my best bet. (remember none of the horses here are over 35 inches tall) Enjoy! For more info on these wonderful people and their very tiny but wonderful horses please visit rockinghranch.tripod.com or call 661-268-1277.

Fire in the Sky : First came the Santa Ana "Devil Winds" then the fires. Approx. 30 fires scorched Southern California this week. As we stood near our barn watching flames go up the mountain and toward the West all we could do was have hope in each other and our horses that we would all be ok. After four days of intense smoke, wind, and wildfires it came to a rest for us last night. These are just a few images of our experience and how we tried to keep our lives on track during this horrific time for our friends and communities here. Thank you to the brave firefighters who gave us hope with every helicopter that passed over our home you are all amazing!
