Photography homage, Ernst Haas, Apache cowboy, "Morning Glory," rodeo, White River, Arizona
Here is a White Mountain Apache cowboy, Morning Glory, looking like a prize fighter who had ended up too often on the canvas . This is another from my White River, Labor Day rodeo series. I met Ernst Haas (1921-1986) in 1968 at the Gallup Inter-Tribal Indian Rodeo. He reminded me of a surgeon asking for different instruments while performing an operation. Haas politely asked his assistant for a camera with a particular lens from an assortment of cameras containing either black and white or color film. An image he took, while standing next to me, made the July 2nd, 1971 front cover of Life magazine. It ceased being a weekly in December of the following year. Look magazine, which had been launched in 1937 only months after Life, had folded in 1971. Both were victims of rising postal rates and the loss of advertising revenue due to TV.
Look's photo collection of six million items was donated to the Library of Congress. From 1946 to 1951 Stanley Kubrick has been a Look photographer. Of his more than 300 assignments, 100 are in the Library of Congress.
NOTE: An archival, limited edition, signed matte C-print can be purchased at my eBay gallery store:
