SynopsisThe cowboy of the 19th century gave Texas its character. His honesty, steadiness, sense of humor, work ethic and determination, created as our state grew up on the range, remain as Texans' indigenous values. In the minds of many, the Texas Cowboy is now only myth or legend, but Robb Kendrick's Texas Tintypes manifests what is known in the souls of Texans everywhere: the cowboy remains. Documenting the 21st-century working cowboy in Revealing Character, renowned photographer Robb Kendrick has used the historical ferrotype or "tintype" method of photography--and allows each cowboy or cattlewoman to speak in "Field Notes" with quiet candor for him- or herself. The photographic exhibition entitled Revealing Character: Robb Kendrick's Texas Tintypes opens at the Witte Museum in San Antonio in September 2005. One section of the exhibition will examine the process of creating the ferrotypes through didactic panels and images of Kendrick working in the field. Posters and a line of stationery products accompany the exhibit., America's first major contribution to the art of photography, whcih dates back to the heyday of the cattle drives (1850-1880), tintypes went on to become the country's favorite portrait format. A tedious and unforgiving method of photography that requires patience and commitment from both the subject and the photographer, posing for a tintype requires more time than modern point-and-shoot photography, and instructions must be followed carefully or the photograph will be ruined. The tintypes-eighty-five in all-are showcased and are accompanied by field notes that provide a look at each individual and his or her dedication to the cowboy way of life.
