Stacy Lynne Wendkos first discovered horses when she was 5 years old and watched the movie “The Black Stallion” for the first time. Having that little girl love of horses, it wasn’t long before she was enrolled in riding lessons and was instantly hooked. Five years later, she discovered photography when she got her first camera, a Kodak Disc, with allowance money she had saved up. In high school, Stacy was given her father’s old manual Minolta SLR with two lenses and the spark of interest Stacy had for photography ignited into a full-fledged passion.

Horses and photography have remained central to her life ever since, although they stayed on separate tracks the first half of her life, learning and growing within each discipline.
