Photo of the Week

Riding in the cramped backseat of a two-door Chevy Beretta on countless weekend drives with my parents, I would often imagine a magnificent white horse galloping alongside the car. Wild, beautiful and unbridled, the horse was my traveling companion on those long rides. As the car barreled down two-lane highways and backwoods country roads, I sometimes daydreamed of climbing out of the passenger window at high speeds, grabbing onto the horse's long white mane and gingerly leaping onto her back. Other times I imagined her simply running beside me with her eyes locked on mine as though we understood each other.

If I could have photographed my childhood daydream, this would have been it.
