  • Life as a movie, framed elegantly in widescreen, with a viewer and a scene unfolding in front of him. It makes us think “storytelling” and we’re able to experience a child’s adventure unfolding.

  • Like a painting, with a different attitude. In fact, both the horse and the child has an attitude we wouldn’t expect. Beautiful tones and light.
