Bob Wade's Cowgirls

Foreword Cowgirls are complex individuals: tough yet graceful, hardheaded yet softhearted. You have to be a brave man to mix it up with cowgirls, and Bob Wade does it better than anyone. With his distinctive techniques of making things bigger than life, Wade takes both famous and rare images of cowgirls and reinvents them as powerful visual forces. Hand-tinting photographs, a delicate art, requires an expert hand, and Bob Wade excels at it. His touch emphasizes the human glow in these photographs and brings their subjects to life. The viewer comes a little closer to the color and excitement one might have experienced sitting in the stands of a 1920s rodeo, watching the cowgirls as they dashed in for the grand entry. . . .Wade, Bob is the author of 'Bob Wade's Cowgirls', published 2003 under ISBN 9781586852641 and ISBN 1586852647.
