The barrel racing photos are really lovely to see. I imagine that the most successful competitors are those whose rider's & horse's gaze & focus most closely match one another.
Just want to express my appreciation for Sean Smuda's article VISUAL ART: Art and Loathing in Miami on http://www.mnartists.org (including excellent photos and links) describing his experiences at Art Basel in Miami. In addition, there are lots more great photos of the events here on Sean's Fokti site (http://public.fotki.com/Smuda/art-documentation/). There are many swell images, and the combination of overexposures, night-lighting, motion blurs and saturated colors give a great sense of the zoo-like atmosphere. Thanks for sharing, Sean!
