My favorite cowboy

My favorite cowboy

This black and white photo was taken with a 35 mm camera in the late 1970's. It is one of my all time favorite photographs. It was a result of an assignment for a photography class I was taking at the time. I was learning to develop my own film in the dark room so I needed to shoot with black and white. My dad posed for this photo while standing inside his old truck just at the top of the tailgate during a gymkhana. He was always a willing subject and one of my favorite people to photograph. The fly on his hat was just along for the ride.
