ManciniPhotos

Last winter, when everything seemed to be coming apart in my life, I was asked to sell saddles for a friend of mine at the Winter Equestrian Festival or, WEF as it is commonly referred to, in Wellington, Florida and the equestrian world. While doing this I started taking pictures. Over time people asked to buy them. In late spring I started a company called ManciniPhotos and started to sell the pictures that I was taking.

It has been 10 months now since I started taking pictures, and about four months since I started selling them. It is now a reality! ManciniPhotos is the direction I am heading. As much as I love Technology, the reality is, that I have to take care of my family. So I am investing my time where I see the opportunity.

The equestrian world is a great industry. I have been in and around it for most of my life. I am now looking forward to being a part of it and WEF. I have been asked to take pictures for Equestrian Sport Productions, the organization that produces WEF. Here is a link to their web-site: http://www.equestriansport.com/

I am going to be at all their events as I have been over the last year. The biggest event is WEF which begins in January and runs through April. WEF is an amazing event and I encourage anyone who happens to be in the south Florida area to attend. The best Hunter and Jumper riders in the world are here for the event. The parties and peripheral events are outstanding.

After WEF is the Spring Circuit, which next year, runs through the end of May. Then the Summer Circuit will go into September. The Fall Circuit,where we are now, goes until mid November and then the Holiday Circuit. A full year of exciting equestrian events!!

I will start writing about the events hosted by ESP. I also encourage your comments and suggestions.

I will be shooting the show this weekend starting tomorrow, so most likely it will be next week before I write again.

Until next time, here are a couple of shots for you.
