My name is Beth Philipp, and I’m currently living in Arizona, but am originally from Thief River Falls, Minnesota. I am sixteen years old, and I live with my parents and my twin sister Sara. I also have two brothers who live in Phoenix, Arizona with their families. Since I was about 6 years old I have been riding horses. I started showing horses in Western Pleasure and gaming events when I was about 8 years of age. My main focus now is Barrel Racing, and some other gaming events.
I love photography, but since moving to Arizona (moved here in August 2007) I have not taken very many photos at all. I don’t like living here and I just don’t have the drive. I can’t seem to find anything that I think is beautiful to photograph. So, until I get back into the swing of things, and start taking photos again, I’m going to be posting photos that I have taken in the past. I would like to say Thank You to Shelley Paulson, an amazing photographer from Minnesota, for sharing this site on her blog. I first ”met” Shelley on a horse website, when she contacted me about attending on of her photography seminars. She is an amazing photographer and I hope one day she can photograph my wedding and my senior pictures. I love looking at her photos over and over, I hope one day I can be half the photographer she is.
Also, all of my photo’s are un-edited. The only thing I ever do to them is re-size them. I am not good with photo programs yet. Even the color swap pictures and black and white is usually done on my camera, never in a program, so any photos I post are untouched and exactly the way that I took them.
I hope you check back often and please, comments are more than welcome, I want to become a better photographer and I need feedback and all the tips I can get!
Much Love, Beth Philipp
