Bank Langmore, Elliott Erwitt and Others







Perhaps the leading photographer of the American cowboy in the 1970s was Bank Langmore (b. 1935). From his home base in Dallas, he traveled some 20,000 miles across the western United States capturing cowboys with his Minolta 35mm camera. (Minolta supplied him with free cameras.) His work was published in a book entitled The Cowboy. Like many photographers he was a perfectionist, and his prints are absolutely gorgeous. For various reasons he has been inactive for many years, and his prints have become rare. The ones below are from a collection of a work associate of his and dates back to the 1970s.
