"People that are doing what they enjoy are fun to be around all day," says Ken Welch, ranch manager of Silverbrook. I love this piece. The description of the working ranch; the interviews with the cowboys and cowgirls, a photographer, a college professor, and a museum curator; and the description of the tintype method of photography all weave together to create a many layered picture in the listener's mind. The listener even learns that lavender oil was used to preserve tintype photographs 150 years ago and that Kendrick uses his own home grown lavender on his tintype photographs. Kendrick's photographs will be in a traveling exhibit entitled "Revealing Character." Julie Moody has produced a rich authentic indepth piece.
An update on the lives of cowboys in Texas. Are they really closer to the portrayals we've been accustomed to? The piece looks into that, as well as introduces us to a man who uses an old technique to capture the likeness of the modern day cowboy. The series of pictures he's taking will have an exhibition later this year.
