Dear horse sport and art photo fans ~

Happy holidays, folks! What a exciting year 2011 turned out to be. Now I am happy to slow my life down a few notches to visit with friends and socialize. Yay, for home made egg nog and ginger bread cookies!

Here is my best news in case you get to visit New Orleans in 2012 -- Preservation Hall is celebrating its 50th year anniversary at the Mint Museum with a giant exhibition. My part to play in this show are 65 large art photographs made at the Hall between 2002-2011. We have a whole wing in the museum which contains historic vintage images, audio to listen to (from interviews made with the musicians by NPR interviewer Eve Abrams), video and instruments including Louis Armstrong's first cornet and so much more. Eve Abrams and I also made a book published earlier this year by LSU press. Its a gorgeous full color book filled with images and quotes from the musicians. Buy the book here: http://shannonbrinkman.zenfolio.com/p38738216/h2ab97dd#h2ab97dd I will sign it personally!

Fairhill International was the best yet this year! Wow!! Well organized and a very pretty cross-country course, big entries and lots of great horses and riders. Amy Dragoo and my assistant Alleyn Evans photographed with me with XC and YEH divisions. All images are up.

And now the Pan Ams: Started with a bang with a clean sweep of medals all going to the Americans for their individual musical kurs in dressage. And this continued with the American eventers winning the team gold with all 5 members going clean XC and SJ, jessica Phoenix the individual gold, Hannah Sue the silver and Buck Davidson, a bronze. And then the show jumpers turned on the light again. Team gold, individual gold for Christine McCrea and individual silver for Beezie Madden. The whole trip incredible!!!!

All the AECs are uploaded though not all to individual file-- please let me know what you would like to see and I will sort that to individual rider file. Anthony Trollope (international horse sport photographer), Bryce Lankard both helped me with photographing. Please write a kudo if you love your images on my site! Thanks!
All Rolex, Jersey Fresh, Jersey Horse Trials, Red Hills, The Fork 2011 images are up!

This site is friendly to Canadians- you can order too-- please pick the image(s) you like and click open featured products-- change USD to CAD and the shipping too and you will be set to order normally from there.

Special Note to riders with sponsors looking for images~ You can alleviate some of your precious time working with sponsors-- if your sponsor needs a special image for your campaign - please have them email me directly! If you have a favorite image let me know but if not I will pick the best images -- ones where you look great in riding style, gesture and face-- the sponsor and I will work out the price for their budget. One less big step you need to do. This is part of my job.

And final note:
***** On this new site there are only a few horse shows loaded as of yet--but the following shows will be added from 2009 through 2010 like Red Hills, The Fork, Jersey Fresh, Fairhill International, Rolex and the 2008 Olympics as time allows. If you would like to see images from a certain competition from any time after 2006 please let me know and they will be posted right away. Also, I keep all negatives and show programs from all shows starting from 1991. Yes, my closets are full!

Please let me know how best to help you. I welcome all feedback and questions.

Enjoy and Happy Eventing!

Shannon

What an eye! I just came back from AEC's and Shannon took so many beautiful pictures of my cute horse- She capture's a horse perfectly and also shoots pictures that are so unique! I think some of my favorites are either close ups or pictures in between the jumps. The entire CD might be my final choice If I don't try a customized Art Print- Can't Decide!

WOW!I recently competed at the NJ Horse Park and was just amazed at how great the photos were. After an event I might find one or two photos that I like, but Shannon's photos were awesome! I was hard pressed to narrow down my choices - I had to buy the CD. In the future I would definitely choose to enter an event if Shannon is lined up to be the photographer!

"To be able to create such incredible photos as Shannon, you not only have to be a technically brilliant photographer, you also have to be a horsewoman and and an artist as well. Shannon combines her enormous creativity with her horsey family background to produce some of the most beautiful photos in equestrian sport period."

Spoke with Shannon about the AEC pictures, great quality, every emotion captured in the pictures! She really spent the time on the Beginner Novice Division pictures to provide the best quality pictures to every rider! Great Job!

Shannon - Thank you so much for the wonderful photos of "Dragon" (Irial's Dragonfly) from last month's horse trial at the NJHP. You truly captured Dragon's love for XC. One of my favorite photos is the one you took at the end of the XC course, where both Heather and Dragon are grinning from ear to ear! And how nice to finally have some dressage photos! There aren’t many photographers who spend time at the dressage arena, and I am grateful that you do. The head shots of Dragon in dressage are my all-time favorites. But most of all, I was surprised and impressed that you were willing to customize some of those head shots for me. Your willingness to work with customers’ specific requests, as well as your attention to detail are unparalleled.
