Brown Range Life Series)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe cowboy may well be the quintessential American icon. Robb Kendrick has been photographing cowboys for twenty-five years  creating a magnificent artistic record that recalls the work of earlier photographers such as Edward S. Curtis  whose portraits of Native Americans have become classics. Kendrick even uses an early photographic processtintypeto create one-of-a-kind photographs whose nineteenth-century appearance underscores how little twenty-first-century cowboys ways of working and types of gear and dress have changed since the first cowboy photographs were made more than a century ago. In Still  Robb Kendrick presents an eloquent collection of tintype cowboy photographs taken on ranches across fourteen states of the American West  as well as in British Columbia  Canada  and Coahuila  Mexico. The photographs reveal the rich variety of people who are drawn to the cowboying lifewomen as well as men; Native Americans  Mexican Americans  and African Americans as well as Anglos. The images also show regional variations in dress and gear  from the \"taco\" rolled-brim hats of Texas cowpunchers to the braided rawhide reatas of Oregon buckaroos. Marianne Wiggins  author of a recent novel about Edward S. Curtis  introduces the volume  and Jay Dusard  a photographer renowned for his cowboy images  provides the afterword. Robb Kendrick tells the backstory of the project in his photographers notes  while also interweaving stories from the cowboys themselves among the images. Both an evocative work of art and a masterful documentary record  Still honors the resilience of modern cowboys as they bring traditional ways of living on the land into the twenty-first century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45651945291829,"sku":"ByrdShop_0292714386","price":43.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780292714380.jpg?v=1781846771","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/still-cowboys-at-the-start-of-the-twentyfirst-century-m-k-brown-range-life-series-9780292714380","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
