Meet Our 'Pardners'

The "Last Cowboy" Project: "For years, Jahiel has been photographing the cowboys of the Great Basin, perhaps one of the most inhospitable regions of the already rugged West. Cowboying as an art form is almost obsolete; still, the cowboys hang on, with a ferocious tenacity. Respect there doesn’t come from the trappings of modern life. Talent, knowledge and skill are valued above all else.  Jahiel tries to reflect those sentiments in these photographs. These cowboys aren’t “remade” into a Hollywood image. Instead, they are “found” images, in keeping with the spirit of authenticity that permeates the best keepers of this tradition."

 

vaq_reg_cover_smallHawk Hill Press, Ned And Jody Martin Hawk Hill Press is an Independent publisher producing award winning, beautiful, large format art books of academic quality on the unique American craft of bit and spur making and on Indian horse gear. These books are of great interest to collectors and also make treasured gifts for that special person who loves “horse jewelry” and has an interest in the history of the west, cowboys, silver bits and spurs, American Indian art (beadwork, quillwork, metal work) and beautiful photography.  These books are carefully researched, annotated and indexed. Each volume is a definitive, high quality resource, as well as an artistic delight for the reader.
