Meeting the Cowboy

Here's the story behind my first capture of a stranger. My friend and I were waiting to pay at the restaurant counter...I had just mentioned that I would love to get this gentleman's photo, when my friend noticed a pamphlet by the register. There he was - JR Root, horse behaviorist and Professional Cowboy for over 45 years. So I decided to be courageous and ask. He paused for a moment, never smiled, but said "it's fine". And here's the result...

Very cool! I initially asked as well before taking people's photos but since I'm getting better at taking them unnoticed I've stopped asking. In this case, I do think you made the right choice asking since he is a well known professional. Anyway, enough of that...its a really nice shot. I really like the bottle of hot sauce at the ready!

He's got my hat on Lin, but mind has badges around the band. Nice capture and he looks natural.

Wonderful photo, and fun story. Do cowboys smile? They always seem so serious, and with that moustache could you tell?
