Or is this where we came from? The Old West is intriguing to me. I enjoy photographing this period’s action and textures. I have a few more shots from this series I’ll post soon.
In a recent Tweet, I mentioned I am becoming a fan of steampunk, a style that blends a little western, a little fantasy and plenty of metal props. The term may be old or new, but either way, the steampunk look in fashion and photography is gaining popularity. For some examples, see this New York Times Magazine gallery here with images by Robert Wright and others.
