Known variously as buckaroos, cowpunchers, or vaqueros, cowboys have held an enduring place in American myth and history. For an article in the December 2007 NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC, photographer ROBB KENDRICK traveled the western U.S. and Mexico to produce a fascinating portrait of the modern heirs to the cowboy legacy. A master of tintype, a technique of wet plate photography on tin that was widely used in the mid-19th century, Kendrick has created a portfolio of images that evoke the look and feel of another time while faithfully recording modern subjects and views. If you’ve ever thrilled to the romance and adventure of the Old West, you won’t want to miss this chance to view uniquely rendered images of 21st-century cowboys and hear fascinating stories of their lives.
