It’s a tintype photograph by Robb Kendrick of three cowboys in their apparels and habitat. All three men have very relaxed poses and are leaning against what seems to be a metallic wall. In their surroundings we could also see a dog laying at one of the cowboys’ feet and a horse standing nearby.
Intention - what you think the photographer intended
I think the photographer intended to give us a taste of the different facades of a cowboy's life. This feeling is emphasised by the way the composition is balanced. On the left side of the photograph we have stillness (calmness) and on the right side we have movement (agitation).
Interpretation - your reaction to the photograph
I like this photograph very much. From looking at the image, I get the impression that the moment captured could have been taken in a different epoch even though this image was taking recently.
Evaluation - your assessment of the images success
I believe that this image is a very successful one. Kendrick was able to capture the different ingredients and the essence of the cowboy life.
