Horse Series by Robert Boston
|
Boston, staff photographer for Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, spent eight years at the St. Louis Business Journal before coming to the School of Medicine more than a decade ago.
Along his 30-year career, Boston has photographed a number of celebrated subjects, from President Bill Clinton to the Rolling Stones. The Horse Series, though, is in many ways a portrait of Boston’s own childhood.
“I grew up next to Grant’s Farm and the pastures where the Clydesdale horses grazed,” Boston said. “They were a part of my childhood landscape.
“Starting in the late 80’s I decided to go back and photograph these animals in a way that shows how they blend and blur with the clouds, hills and trees — so much a part of everyday objects, yet so different and unique.”
