The Buckaroo and Buckarette STAGECOACH HOLD-UP!


This photo was originally supposed to be in my book Tattered and Lost: Buckaroos and Buckarettes until I saw it in the proof. The image just didn't work, the details got lost. So I replaced it with the image of the boy with the fort. But I love this shot. You are only seeing a portion of it. I wanted to highlight the details of this diorama probably built by some kid in their backyard. I'm very glad someone had the good sense to take a photo of it. I so want to be a kid again playing in the backyard with my imagination running wild.

Enjoy!

  1. It could almost be a still photo from some cheap Western or SciFi movie where the long shots were done with special effect models.

    1. Yup. A Saturday serial with stock shots.

    1. Yes! It would be nice if one day a week I could travel back to the perfect memory and spend the whole day there.
