Gem Hale's project looks at modern day cowboys.
A photographer spent five years capturing “America’s backbone,” modern cowboys in the South and southeast.“There’s this fascination with cowboys in the American media,” Hale tells“How the Black cowboy is typically portrayed is in a very urban environment so I wanted to take a step back and dive deeper into my roots and my family’s roots to show a more rural side to this story.”Hale says he was curious to know more about the lives of the cowboys still residing in the American South.
“Learning about their farms and ranches, their lifestyles and values, but most importantly their tradition, and why they keep it alive.”Hale began the project after going out on trail rides with the cowboys and getting to know them. “I found that these cowboys are the backbone of our American society. In a physical aspect, they make sure we have food on our tables.
