"Two Bison"
A western icon, bison have been depicted by man ever since he
picked up a piece of charcoal and began to draw on cave walls. In early
black and white photos, color was added by hand tinting. “Two Bison”
has a similar nostalgic mood while incorporating a contemporary edge,
as well.
Bison roamed freely until the mid 1800's. A wild population
of Wood Bison still exists in and around
Wood Bison National Park and in the Hay Zama region of northern
Alberta.
“The whol face of the country was
covered with herds of
buffaloe, elk and antelopes...they are so gentle that we pass near them
without appearing to excite alarm among them."
-Meriwether Lewis, 1805
"Chief Motel"
This (politically incorrect) vintage neon sign still stands in front of
(what is left of) a motel in a small town in beautiful central
rural Montana.
"Prairie Classic"
This beauty, possibly a 1939 – 1941 Nash, is
accented by rust, oxidation and a little frost. The stories she could
tell!
I found her resting a few miles from the Saskatchewan border
on a September morning.
