I always enjoy looking at your photographs.Even the ones I am familiar with. It's like they are new all over again.

Hello Charlie, Well it's about time to think polo again. I sure hope that you will be shooting in 2010. Your work is some of the best in polo.
Thanks for all the fond memories,
Dan Healy

Hi Charles, we are promoting a polo event in Perth Australia and I would be very interested to know if we could use any of your photos in an e-brochure and a website. Very happy to pay a copyright fee - just depends on cost.
Please email me as soon as possible. As is so often the case, we have very little time to prepare materials!

Hi Charlie!
Love your photos! You really capture the moment.

Hello Charlie,
I need a real good photo of Jack Shelton for an article in the Wichita Business Journal. Can you please help? If you do have a great shot of Jack, can it be used?

Lovely photos of beautiful animals. Very well done.

hi there - we are having the Aiken (SC) Polo Pony Sale in October and would love to use your Black and white Thoroughbred head shot photo on the cover. Is that possible, if we credit you with the photo and list the website, etc., whatever information you would like to have provided? Please let us know - Caroline Sankey clsankey@yahoo.com

Charles ... congratulations on an outstanding gallery. These are difficult shots to take and you've done it exceedingly well. Big vote !!! Given your interest in our equine friends, take a look at my Kentucky Horse Farm gallery when you have time.
