Seeing, living, and breathing the art of photography is what and who Robert Osborn is; and is vividly portrayed in this beautiful book. These are fine art photographic portraits of cowboys and cowgirls who have dealt with the hard realities of running cow ranches in the high Rocky Mountains generation after generation since the homesteading of Montana in the late 1800s. These are the people who do the calving and branding, the haying, herding, and fencing, be it well over 100 degrees or 40 degrees below zero. Embodied in these photographs is the true Montana. Seven years of traveling to ranches in Central Montana went into photographing for this book. These 50 portraits depict these people as only Robert Osborn can; as images that are as tough and honest and gritty as the cowboy or cowgirl portrayed. These portraits are enduring and timeless works of art.
