Jeanne Nations has been photographing the wild mustangs of the
Great Basin Country in the high desert of Eastern Nevada for about 3 years now.
Jeanne says that "When I am out in nature photographing, I become completely
immersed in my subjects, always looking for that right moment in time, when
that magic light seems to fall ever so gently on the subject. The weather
conditions and terrain out in the out in high desert can be quite unforgiving
at times, being at an elevation of about 6500 feet, but it doesn't
stop me."
"Photographing is constantly challenging
and changing but I would not trade this adventure for anything. I have become
an adovcate for the wild horse to make sure that they remain free roaming as
it should always be. There is nothing better that I love to do than grab my
camera and head out into wild country, chasing wild horses."

"I feel truly humbled viewing and photographing these powerful animals in
their natural environment,the desert is an oasis of color brimming with
an abundance of wild life and serenity. I feel blessed in live in a land
where I am constantly inspired to chronicle the wild horses on film for
others to enjoy. I have been called by friends, a horse whisperer, horse
chaser, horse dreamer and even the wild horse paperazzi , which is quite
funny. I just have a connection with the spirit of these animals and
there is no greater joy than watching how peaceful they are and the
interaction they have."
"I have come so close to these wild stallions, who are so undeniable protective that
I have seen them paw at the ground; as if to say don't come any closer with steam
blowing from their nostrils. I am always taking chances getting so close , but I
do know my limits . As with any wild creature they can be unpredictable."
