In search of the last cowboy

Wyoming-based photographer Adam Jahiel has been taking photographs of cowboys in the American west for 20 years. His black and white photographs are timeless. Looking at them, it’s difficult to tell whether they were taken yesterday or half a century ago. They capture the reality of the cowboy, not the myth.

Below are a few photographs from his series, “In search of the last cowboy, that caught my eye. It’s worth visiting his site to see the rest of his photographs.
