The Open Range

Cowboys — the West as it still exists.

ABOUT THIS WORK

The West isn't a costume. It's a job. These portraits come from two places where it's still being done: the cattle auction at Belen, New Mexico — wet plate, where men and animals hold still because the process demands it — and the Cowtown Rodeo in Pilesgrove, New Jersey, the oldest continuous rodeo in America, where nothing holds still and the color is the point.

The wet plate work isn't for sale. Some things stay on the wall. The rodeo photographs are handmade prints, editions of 20 per size, signed and numbered — when they're gone, they're gone.
