Meet Peyten. I shot her at The Horse Smokeout 12, a motorcycle event put on by The Horse Magazine in Rockingham, NC. Peyten is one of the "Horse Girls" at the rally. I had shot her previously while working, posing for PR photos. She was standing along the side of the main stage, watching everyone go crazy at the "Lady Body Painting Contest." While she was being ignored, it gave me the chance to meet her and exchange pleasantries. Hailing from Wilmington, NC, she was enjoying the rally and having fun at her job. See you next year, Peyten.
