The Heart Gallery originated in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It began as the vision of adoptive mother and professional photographer Cathy Maier Callanan. It became a reality through Diane Granito and the New Mexico Children, Youth, and Families Department. The Heart Gallery has now spread to over 40 cities throughout the US. Many accomplished professional photographers have donated their talent and energy to photograph a child available for adoption in the hope that the Heart Gallery show will increase the chances of the child being adopted and having a home. Every child deserves a home. This browntone image was part of the 2005 Santa Fe Heart Gallery show at Gerald Peters Gallery December 8th - 31st. "Hauk" is a 13 year old boy currently in a foster home in Roswell, New Mexico. He is a sweet kid who loves animals and horses. A special thanks to Elaine and Richard Patton of Galisteo, New Mexico, and their wonderful horses including "Johnnie Joe" who helped with this shot.
