Two cowboys relax and discuss their day. Shot on Ilford FP4 film in 1975. - A Moment in Photographic History: William Notman was born in Paisley, Scotland on March 8, 1826. At the age of 30, Notman moved to Montreal, Quebec and set up an extremely successful photographic studio in 1856. - In my view you cannot claim to have seen something until you have photographed it. - - - - - Emile Zola, Photographer. Did a little writing as well.
I appreciate your comments and constructive criticism.

Kind of looks like a salebarn. When we farmed, I used to love to go to the salebarn. Neat shot.

Wonderful candid shot...I love the expression on the left guys face!

Looks like the one on the right is telling a tall tale and the one on the left is a little skeptical...

J’aime beaucoup ce noir et blanc, cette confrontation du regard, du surement au coiffe différente. Pascal
I love very much this black and white, this confrontation of look, surement in different head-dress. Pascal

The expression made this picture so alive.

You caught a wonderful communication between them. A real moment!

Love that shy, almost sheepish, look on the one guy's face. Priceless!

Captivating shot, works great in B/W!

Nice capture. Love how you can feel their connection by their facial expressions and their body language. Perfect portrait.

The skeptical look on Stetson Man is priceless. The bull that Ball Cap is giving him is also priceless. Stetson's hands, crossed, not accepting. Ball Cap's hands, saying, "That's the way it was, man," excpet for curled, hidden-meaning hand under leg. Maybe.
Wonderful photo.

Great capture. There is such a complicity between them!

Lovely shot of men chatting. Emile Zola's quote is one of a dedicated photographer.

Great capture of an intriguing rapport going on there! I want a feather like that in my hat ;-)

The clothing hasn't changed but perhaps the hair is a little shorter these days....i love the fact that this has stood the test of time so well.
