Three Sisters Barn No. 2
Robert McCune (see more by this artist)
This barn is part of the same no longer occupied ranch compound where Three Sisters Barn No 1 is located. Making my way about the area, I was caught up in the melancholy of such large-scale abandonment, and thinking about the family that once lived there. While I was standing on a rise overlooking the buildings, a tractor slowly made its way “into the picture” from around a hillside in the distance. My first thought was to head back to the van, a hike of 300 yards across open pasture. There was no way that rancher wasn’t going to see me.
Instead, I moved down to a gate near the narrow (ranch) bridge I had crossed earlier, and placed the camera and tripod in shooting position alongside the road so the rancher could see what I was doing there, albeit trespassing. I was ready to “take my medicine.”
Within a few minutes, the middle-aged fellow slowly drove past, acknowledging my presence with a nod, but no smile or wave of a hand. He had every right to have “taken my head off.”
But riding a tractor? Not a horse? With a 10-foot disc harrow, he had arrived from somewhere to clear a firebreak along that part of his land that fronted the highway. (Same ranch as Three Sisters Barn No. 1)
As you can see, my photos are of art gallery quality, showing careful and time consuming in-the-field composition.
The three smaller size photos are printed by myself, on Epson Ultra Premium gloss paper via a Canon MG6220 Photo Inkjet Printer with a 6-color cartridge system. The two larger sizes are printed on order at a professional photo lab on an Epson Stylus Pro 9800, using Epson Premium Luster paper with Ultrachrome inks.
The four smaller sizes will be mailed flat; the two larger sizes in a tube. Shipment will be within 14 days, unless my wife and I are on a photo-shoot.
Artwork is copyrighted.
Am unable to offer matting and framing.
5½x6 double-page note cards are also available, with a 4x6 photo on the front, and Title and anecdotal info on the back of the card. These are mailed in packages of five (5). Select any mix of five of my photos, and advise me via email. Cards are premium heavy weight quality.
Please note. Your computer monitor might show lower brightness, contrast, and color than seen in the print itself. Also, there will be some loss of sharpness when zooming in to enlarge an image.
