The Wild Horses of Missouri

Stories from the Ozark National Scenic Riverways

I spend time with the free-roaming wild horses of Shannon County, Missouri, learning the individual horses, following their families, and documenting their lives within the Ozark National Scenic Riverways.

My goal is simple: Know the horses. Tell their stories. Make photographs that matter.

Follow the Story

The Wild Horses of Missouri is a long-term project, and much of the story will continue to unfold over time.

You can follow the work through my Wild Horse Field Notes for stories and updates from the field, the Darkroom Diary for broader notes on my photography and darkroom work, or Darkroom Diary Premium for in-depth articles, research, and behind-the-scenes material.

Choose the path that interests you most and follow the work as it develops.

Handmade B&W Silver Gelatin Prints

Selected Wild Horses of Missouri photographs continue into my darkroom, where I create real black-and-white film negatives and use them to make traditional silver gelatin photographs on fiber paper.

It is not simply a digital image reproduced on paper or outsourced to a lab.

It is a physical photograph made by my hands in my darkroom.

Selected works are available as large gallery prints, including 30×40 and 40×50 inches.
