Karen’s Top Five Favorite Pics
#1 – “T is is my all-time favorite photo I have ever taken!” Karen said. T e photo is of Katie Gil- bert in the Junior Handler class at the Bryn Mawr Hound Show in 2001. “It was the very last shot on my fi lm camera, and right as I was focusing my lens, the basset turned around and kissed her.” T e photo was printed in the Chronicle of the Horse and was on the cover of T e Horse of Dela- ware Valley as the winner of their annual photo contest. T is photo also appeared in the Chronicle again in 2002 when it won third place for Best Photograph.
#2 – “It is not a good day unless we view a fox… and even better if I capture it on fi lm,” Karen said. T is fox was captured on fi lm crossing Montevideo Road in Poolesville while Karen was shooting for Potomac Hunt.
#3 – “Allen [Forney] is always one of my favorite people to photo- graph,” Karen stated. “He is always impeccably turned out and his horse, Rex, was very photographic, always posing for the camera.” T is photo was taken at the Howard County-Iron Bridge Hounds opening meet at Harwood in Brookeville in 2001 while Allen was huntsman.
#4 – “T is is one of my favorite hound photos,” Karen said of the Bell- wood Hunt hounds in full cry. T e photo was also a favorite of
H.L.Todd Addis, MFH, who used it in his book Our Penn-Marydel Hound - A His- torical Anthology, published in 2002.
#5 – “T is photo was one of two pictures that Frankie [Pardoe] used for a painting she did for the MFHA Centennial Art Show in 2007” Karen said. T e fox cubs were born at Karen and Gary’s farm in Wood- bine, and Karen was able to take several photos of them. “Frankie used a lot of my photos as the basis of some of her paintings, and for that, I am forever grateful.”
62 | THE EQUIERY | JANUARY 2018
Art Director’s Pick Out of the hundreds of photos that Karen Kandra Wenzel has shared
with T e Equiery over the years, this one of former Potomac Huntsman Larry Pitts is by far my personal favorite. T ere is something very simple and classic about the colors and composition that speaks to the subject of huntsman and hounds.
