Hi everyone, hope you're all loving the warm weather.
I'm after a fabulous photo of a classic polo moment that I can immortalize in an exquisite oil painting. The person who supplies the best photo will have their photo magnificently hand painted onto a fine linen canvas was luxurious oils totally free.
The catch? For once in life there really isn't any. We need great photos in order to show off our great paintings. Help me to demonstrate our full ability and get yourself a truly wonderful painting on us.

Best wishes
Anne

Hi Anne,
My name is Dale Smicklas and at one time I was the 3rd highest rated player in America at 8 goals.
I have a photo from the 1988 Camacho Cup(Mexico vs USA) that was held at Palm Beach Polo. The photo is of myself and Carlos Gracida, and the caption was 'Carlos Gracida and Dale Smicklas go airborn during the 1988 Camacho Cup".
I have always thought it one of my favorites and have been told by those who don't know polo at all that it is a very unique photo because both of us are in almost the identical position, hands, feet, sticks, horses all almost in identical positions on both players. The caption is because both horses are running full speed and all 4 feet are off the ground on both horses. In the photo we are running side by side at full speed.
If you have an interest in it please let me know.

Thanks, Dale
Hi Dale, I just emailed your aol address, but just wanted to let you know as I usually find, rather annoyingly that when I email aol adresses, my emails sometimes go into the spam/junk folder.

Hello  I am a business manager for a fine art oil painter, and just as a word of advice, you should also get a release from the photographer.  The have copy rights to their works, and out of respect for their rights, it is good to have a signed release that allows you license to create "derivative art work".  In most cases I have had to pay a fee for this, but some photographers are generous in sharing their photos with you - and that is great.   I wish you the best of luck, and hope you found this interesting.   Take Care  Rick

I am the protog for The Villages Polo Club in Florida.  If you visit my website ( www.poloslides.com ), you will see a number of my photos, some of which are unique.  These are only a small sample of my photos, as I usually shoot about 1,500 photos per match.  I also have slide shows on YouTube (search "The Villages Polo Club" or "The Villages" + "Polo").  I have two slide shows currently linked to MyPage on this site, and will be adding others.  I already work with one artist here in the United States.  My current equipment set is a Nikon D3X (24 MP camera) with a 80-400 lens.  This equipment allows me to see the individual hairs on the tail of a horse, from mid-field to the goal lines.

If you are interested, please let me know.

Thank you,
