In Land of Legend you will see photography in 3 different categories, documentary, digital, and "digital art" photography. 

Documentary Photography- Photography with no post production, beyond standard film development or digital photography printing. The image here is a documentary photograph by artist, Kim Beer.

Digital Photography- Photography with a digital camera intent to capture what is actually seen. Any significant manipulation (if added) of an image is done primarily in camera, with only basic corrections done in post production.

Digital Art Photography- Photographs that have a significant amount of post production with editing intended to alter or enhance the original image beyond reality. Images that contain multiple photos taken with different lenses and stitched together, or images that are heavily edited in post production to significantly add, take away, or distort what was seen go into this category. This category also includes photographs that have been edited in post-production to appear as a painting or drawing.

Traditional Cowboy Arts encompass a wide variety of work that is was born out of necessity and usefulness. The Rawhide Romal Reins with tooled leather popper seen here were made by Justine Nelson-Graham and are used for "neck reining" a horse. Other traditional cowboy arts include spurs, chaps, and hats; all of which have an important purpose.

As will all art and craft, these traditional arts are reinterpreted, and reinvented in new ways and for new customs. You may see a hand-tooled leather handbag or jacket. These harken back to traditional uses, but with a modern twist.
