I have loved the song "Love is the Answer" by England Dan and John Ford Coley since a kid in the 70's... so needless to say I was beside myself when I spoke with John Ford Coley and got permission to use it in one of my mustang videos! The song brings me back to a simpler time in my life where I was a horse-crazy kid wrapped up in wonderful feelings they brought me, and seeing the world through innocence, and the beauty of what is good and pure in this world. Wild mustangs bring me back to that place in my head as does this song. I wanted to thank John Ford Coley and asked if I can help give back in any way, and his reply was "Just save those horses". Thank you sir, from the bottom of my galloping heart- we will give it all we can, because the light of the world is watching... a powerful voice for our wild ones.
Even though Mr. Coley didn't require any recognition, here is his website store where you can purchase their music:
About the video: I wanted to do a whole year in review, but realized that would be a bit long, so creating segments of the year, and here are a few moments on the mustang ranges- video clips spliced together in August and September. On these trips, we got to continue to follow along the journeys of our longtime mustang friends we've been watching and learning about for nearly ten years. We also got to meet new faces and learn about them. Looking forward to seeing them all on their journeys this coming year, as well as meet new wild faces!
Now, as a disclaimer- I am a photographer and by no means do I claim to be a videographer. My videos are rough, and dont even use a tripod when I flip the video switch on. While photographing after I get the shots I want, will then suddenly toggle to video- and my big foot-long telephoto lens in the slightest of breezes is very unsteady... now add coffee and mustang excitement, and it makes me all too aware I need to slow down and some and use proper video equipment in the future LOL ... But for now this is what you guys get- since I can't take you all out there with me, I figure you may still like my sudden video-thought moments showing our amazing wild horses in motion through my glass- sort of like bringing you all out there with me.
Enjoy. And if you have little ones, sit them with you and tell them- YES, we do still have wild untouched mustangs roaming on vast and wild ranges out west where eagles glade and sunsets set the skies ablaze as far as the eyes can see.
Keep the WILD in our WEST and our WEST WILD~
