Cowboys
Cowboys, cowgirls and horses A voyage into today’s world of the Western
The photographic reportage by Lauren Berley reawakens the collective imagination about the trades that used to be typical of the American West.“In a politically and religiously conflicted modern world – affirms the photographer – we are overrun with web and HD images of conflict, confusion and fear. Seldom are we given the chance to truly experience the tactile aspects of technology-proof tradition. Making a custom rope to sort a calf on the range, tie him down, and lance an abscess on a calf’s eye... These are the traditions that are passed across multiple generations. And there is an overwhelming sense of pride and love, even in the most modest of ranch households”. April 2012
