Artist Statement

After over twenty-years and nearing a million miles on the road full-time, be assured, each and every photographic in this collection, represents a fleeting moment in the quickly disappearing landscape called The American West.

There are no “posed” cowboys, “costumed” Indians (It’s regalia!),or “staged” events of any kind.

This is the West the way the IS and in many cases, the way it was ... at least for now.

Some will tell you that the Old West is a time gone by, with ways that are gone forever.
Jim. will tell you, 'not so fast.'
