Mountain Man

During the Wind River Photographers’ Retreat, I participated in a portrait session with a local man, who is a tanner by trade, but also does period reenactment. He brought numerous vintage props, including a wooden canoe, vintage firearms, and all manner of clothing items. The bottom image was my favorite outfit. I loved the layers of his clothing, from the buffalo-hide coat he made himself, to that magenta scarf and even the leather strings from his hat. The top image was fun since we shot right beside the river, and his dog Molly - who would look where he would point, perfect model dog that she was - was really fun to shoot as well.
