    This picture is from 1908 Montana, and shows a sheep rancher hauling enormous (400 lb) bags of wool to be sold and made into clothing and other woolen products. At that time, there were more sheep raised in Montana than cattle and horses, according to the information that was with the photo.

    An interesting thing to me was that the horses pulling the wagon look more like ordinary riding horses than the heavy-bodied draft horses usually used for pulling loads and farm work. Most draft horses have “feathers” around their fetlocks, (above the hooves), and none of these horses look like they have much hair there.

    The Terminal. Photo by Alfred Stieglitz, 1893

    "Stieglitz took this picture using a small 4 x 5 camera, an instrument not considered at the time to be worthy of artistic photography. Unlike the unwieldy 8 x 10 view camera (which required a tripod), this camera gave Stieglitz greater freedom and mobility to roam the city and respond quickly to the ever-changing street life around him..”

    In front of the Old Post Office in New York City, where the Third Avenue railway system and the Madison Avenue streetcar system had their terminals. I like this picture. You can almost feel the steam coming off the horses.

    I just read that Stieglitz was married to Georgia O'Keeffe (his second wife.) He was 60, she was 37.
