New Mexico
1972, printed 1999

A black and white photograph capturing a group of men, most wearing cowboy hats, gathered on a sidewalk. One man stands apart, walking and looking towards the camera, while the others are facing a wall with a large mural depicting a cowboy on a horse. Above the group, a "ONE WAY" sign and a pedestrian crossing signal are visible. The wall advertises "SADDLE GOODS and BELTS." The scene suggests a moment of casual social gathering in a setting that celebrates Western culture.
