Description
In this inspirational photograph by Lincoln Rogers, an equestrian tandem of horse and rider start a successful jump over one of the obstacles in a professional show jumping competition. The image is paired with a quote from the famous deaf/blind Helen Keller - "Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.�
Photography software was used to apply textures, tone and vignette to the image, in order to create a timeless feel.
According to ask.com - Helen Adams Keller (June 27, 1880 � June 1, 1968) was an American author, political activist, and lecturer. She was the first deaf/blind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree. The story of how Keller's teacher, Anne Sullivan, broke through the isolation imposed by a near complete lack of language, allowing the girl to blossom as she learned to communicate, has become widely known through the dramatic depictions of the play and film The Miracle Worker. Her birthday on June 27 is commemorated as Helen Keller Day in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania and was authorized at the federal level by presidential proclamation by President Jimmy Carter in 1980, the 100th anniversary of her birth. She was inducted into the Alabama Women's Hall of Fame in 1971.
