Every cowboy can instantly call up with fondness that familiar sound of separated cows and calves calling to each other longingly, the smell of cattle carried on a dusty wind acros s sagebrush and juniper, and the feeling of a good horse underneath you as you work together to keep a herd moving. John Langmore began cowboying in 1975 at the age of twelve, after his father photographed the seminal book, The Cowboy. John spent twelve summers cowboying across the West before pursuing a professional career. In 2012, after thirty years away from his time in the saddle, John began a six-year project photographing fourteen of the nation’s largest and most famous ranches. Of all those who have photographed the cowboy, John is one of the few who came to it first as a cowboy and only later as a photographer. John’s photographs and writings reflect this deep connection to the cowboy world and offer an unrivaled chance to witness a way of life that many dream of but few experience. twin palms publishersnovember 201814 x 11 inches90 tritone plates144 pages Show more
