http://www.karenfitzhenry.com/breeding-and-re-making-your-favorite-toy-horse-model/ “It’s the subtle details of the mustangs that I love most,” the photographer Jessica Cardelucci says. “The wind knots in their manes almost tell their tale. Tangled, yet wild and beautiful.” From 2016 through 2019, she traveled through public lands throughout the American West, searching for mustangs. Her quest to photograph our country’s wild horses* coincided with the passing of her beloved horse, with the artist returning to the wild time and again as reconnecting with them–a kind of homecoming.  Now, her journey has culminated in Wild Mustangs, a collection of twenty images available as 1/1 NFT editions and handmade platinum prints. Just a single platinum print and proof are created for each photograph.

But today, the vast majority of auto repair professionals do not have the training or equipment to repair EVs, which are anatomically very different from their gas-powered predecessors. As a result, many early EV adopters have been forced to rely on vehicle manufacturers and dealerships to service their cars — a situation that can drive up repair costs and lead to frustratingly long wait times. Ruth Morrison, who chairs the Automotive Technology Department at Southern Maine Community College (SMCC), wants to change that. Morrison, who was an auto mechanic before she began teachin
