Jim Boeke the proprietor of River Junction Trade Company ( www.riverjunction.com/ ) pauses for a portrait in front of a large selection of Victorian era cowboy hats. Boeke has owned River Junction Trade Company since 1973.

 

The company makes authentic reproductions of mid-1800's clothing. His clothing has been used for a long list of movies including: 3:10 to Yuma, Deadwood, Titanic and Open Range.

 

Boeke is the 28th stranger in my 100 strangers project this is an alternate portrait. You can find out more about the project at: www.100strangers.com
