“The Project: For years, I have been photographing the cowboys of the Great Basin, perhaps one of the most inhospitable regions of the already rugged West. These people represent one of the last authentic American subcultures, one that is disappearing at a rapid rate.”
“I have traveled in many places in the world. I visited Wyoming on a photo-assignment and fell in love with it. I decided that this was the place I wanted to live. There is a lot of space here, and beautiful open landscape where I live.”
