Progress Report #4 (7/03/2010)

The second of the two recorded phone interviews with Julie was today--and it was very much like having a time machine to revisit the hobby in the 1970s, '80s, and on into the '90s!

Next will be phone interviews with four other hobbyists. After that, in late September or early October, I'll make the trip from Japan to Wisconsin to visit Julie, get her comments on individual horses, and shoot photos galore. (Hope to also shoehorn in a quick trip to Ohio, to reshoot the 40 or so of me and Corky's horses whose photos were devoured by a defective SD card.)

Another progress report will be coming soon!

Progress Report #3 (7/01/2010)

Today turned out to be a hectic one for Julie--the hazards of setting up interview times a few weeks in advance!--so we've postponed today's planned interview until July 3. In the meantime, I'll start pricing autumn flights to Minneapolis, to visit Julie in September or October and shoot photos like crazy!
