The sheepherder ...
Yesterday's image reminded me of another great Montana photo, one that I really love. This is one of a series of images taken in 1942 by a man named Russell Lee, working for the Farm Security Administration. The sheepherder and his dog were stationed up in the Gravelly Range, south of Ennis.

I LOVE this! Russell Lee worked a lot in Texas, too.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it wonderful??? Some of those old FSA photographs are among the finest and most evocative images I've ever seen. What a memorable legacy that project left us ...
ReplyDeleteThe color on these old Kodachromes is astounding.
ReplyDeleteAin't it, though? And why can't digital compare with it?
