Like the Osler medical book, the cowboy book was all shot with Leica gear. The only difference between the two ? I had to try and ride a horse and take pictures at the same time. :) And was that ever a pain in the a......s! :):) And the smart ass horse knew it had a city slicker mounted and never paid any attention to me when I wanted it to stop or go. The first day we were out on the round - up it kept going between trees just big enough for it and not my legs, so by the time the day was over my knees were black and blue with skin scuffed off under the jeans from banging on trees. The next day I carried my gear and ran along with the cowboys mounted on horse back, much easier. But I gotta tell you I was one tired photog by bed time. yep and I had no problem sleeping that night!! :) Let me know if we can get a book signing organized for you. ted
