Three Amigos of Sand Wash Basin, a book written by Patrick F.
Brennan Jr., Joe Tosh & John Wagner, is a book full of wonderful stories of
these three close friends photographing the wild Mustangs at Sand Wash Basin.
The book will also be chuck full of the Amigos
collective “Best of the Best” wild horse photos that they have collected over the
past three years. The book will be released on November 15th of this
year- available online (blurb.com) only and in hard cover edition. This
publication will also have two great stories on adopted mustangs- one of them
is horse that was gathered at Sand Wash Basin in 2002. The book will also
feature three wild horse artists, Karen McLain, Linda Martin and Melody Perez,
with paintings photographs from the authors and one from an original work.
The authors met on Face Book, when Joe and John saw photographs of
Patrick Brennan had taken of Gymkhana competitions in the Denver area that he
had posted on Face Book. John invited Patrick to come out to Sand Wash Basin to
photograph the wild horses at SWB. They quickly became fast friends and have
had many trips together out at Sand Wash Basin since then.
The idea for the book came from some conversations between the Three Amigos while they were together at
Sand Wash Basin last year- when Patrick Brennan floated the idea that they
should do a book together about all the great adventures they have had
photographing the wild horses. Patrick
thought about it over the winter months and announced on his first visit the
following Spring that he was going to go forward with the book. Phone calls,
e-mails and Face Book messages fired back and forth between Patrick in Denver,
Colorado and John and Joe in Dinosaur, Colorado. Before a few months had past
the outline and bare bones draft of the book was down on Patrick’s laptop and
they were off and running with it. They are self-publishing the book and if
initial sales do well- than Patrick Brennan will be in further contact with a
couple of publishers that will take a look at the book for wider distribution
based on those initial sales numbers.
There will be no pre-ordering of the book, it will be available online
only through Blurb.com. A price has not yet been determined. It is expected to
be in the $30 to $35 range- but that is just an estimate at his point. The official blurb.com link for the book will
be posted on Patrick Brennan Website www.blackhatphoto.us and there will also be a Face Book page put
up by the authors by November 1st
that will be dedicated to the book and will have the direct blurb.com
link for the book posted there.
Patrick Brennan will be featured in a full length article in Sidelines
Magazine, a national
equestrian magazine published in the US and Canada. The Three Amigos of Sand Wash Basin book will be mentioned prominently
in that article. The story will be in their November issue – due out on October
20th, 2012.
