Latest Gallery Wee Traveling Horses foreward by Terri Miller When we discovered that Susan 's leukemia was incurable, her "sisters" of the Vision 18 Collective decided to start a project. It began merely as something to cheer Susan through difficult days. I searched for an icon that each of our 14 members could easily carry everywhere, and I found the Wee Horse. He's tiny enough to fit in a purse or a camera bag, and for weeks now we have treated him as our Traveling Gnome With Fuzzy Hooves. Each day, we would email the resulting images to Susan: we figured if the Wee Horse made us giggle, then it would have the same effect on her. So far, the Wee Horses have been across the country. They've met all manner of creatures: dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, chickens and dinosaurs. They've been out at dawn, and they've been out after dark. They've played dress up. They've been to see the veterinarian, and they've honored veterans. They've sampled mojitos, wine, beer and martinis, jumped crosscountry fences and even went to Brazil with Axel, who in between judging duties, was my "stunt double" at the CDI in Sao Paulo. The Wee Horse Project will live on, in honor of Susan. V18C The Vision 18 Collective was the brainchild of Mary Cornelius and Sharon Fibelkorn in 2006. It is a small private group of equine photographers from around the United States. All women, all well-established in their businesses as working photographers. Members of this group work independently in their businesses, but share much together in creativity, friendship and ethical business standards. V18C is not a member organization in that it is not seeking to add to its membership, it should be viewed as a collection of businesswomen seeking to grow their skills and creativity and invest in projects as group efforts. An October 2007 retreat was our first official get together where we rented a wonderful ranch house up in the hills of Southern California and acted as a production company, producing our own images with horses and human models in a variety of beautiful settings. Not only did we accomplish what we set out to, but we had insane fun during the entire process. Fun is big with us, it allows our creativity to bloom. Singularly we've been around for a while, collectively we're new. There is no telling what where this path will lead us and that is pretty exciting! Look for V18C projects and photo shoots in the future. In each gallery on this site you will find the individual portfolios of each member with contact info. See an image or a style that you like, don't hesitate to contact the artist using the contact info provided within each gallery. We hope that you enjoy the images!
