These wonderful hats were part of a display in a shop in Historic Berrima (Southern Highlands of NSW, Australia) – I did like the colour version but decided to challenge myself to another B&W conversion. It was a very dark shot to start with – any constructive criticism welcome! My Bubblesite also shows works in categories. Landscapes Trees Cards EOD Rusty Flowers Architecture Macro CatchAll DM

Ladies and gents straw hats hanging on a barn wall. The ladies hat has a flower and ribbons on the back. The hats are also identified by silhouettes burned into the wood. The man’s hat has a hillbilly silhouette and the woman’s has a hillbilly woman leaning over and shaking her finger at the man.

FIRST TIME PUBLISHED / Watch this I looked outside my restaurant in Broome I saw two cowboyheads sitting on the tables outside and I had a strong urge to make some photo’s. I spook to the two men they where from Fitzroy Crossing. They where watching a crowd of Indeginous Aboriginal men and women ‘hanging’ outside in the Plaza. They where waiting for the local liquorshop to open, In Fitzroy is now a ‘ban’ on alcohol, they told me, so Fitzroy Crossing is now a ‘dry’ Community Miss. / Broome, Western Australia. / Today I received an email stating; CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR IMAGE ‘TYPAN’ is one of 55 images from the PEOPLE & PLANET International Photo Competition. to be published in the 2009 People&Planet; Social Justice & Enviroment Diary, which will be published this month in Australia (2009). / We thought that your image was incredible, and it won from a pool of OVER 1000 images from 316 photographers from around the World! / All funds raised by the People&Planet diary go to Australia’s small non profit organisations which are working to promote social-justice and environmental substainability around the world. / / watched 802 times 7-11-09

One of the actors in a popular gunfighter group called The Mojave Muleskinners, Smokey Jack was kind enough to let me take this portrait. Actors from this group have featured in many Western films and also travel extensively, throughout the Western states, to perform shows and provide entertainment for the public.

Civil War soldiers take time out from their reenacted battles to pose for this portrait.
This Mexican Cowboy (El Vaquero) was part of an extremely talented Mexican Rodeo show and I was honored that he posed for this portrait. I loved the intense expression and traditional clothing coupled with the angle of the shot as he sat on horseback. Canon EOS 5D MkII, EF70-200 f/2.8L IS USM lens, 80mm @ f/4.5 1/160 sec.

Rest between battles, a Civil War soldier sat for this portrait during reenactment events.
“The story of your life is in your face. It’s written there in little subtle lines. The story of your life is in your face. What’s written on your face has been heavy on your mind.” Tom T. Hall This old gentleman was kind enough to let me take this portrait.
