Gaucho
The traditional life of the Gaucho is dying with a new world and modern technology. The young do not wish to live this life as they used to. This image for me could have been taken 50 years ago, but resonates with many feelings towards the working man, to tradition and the beauty of the wilderness. I had a great respect for the people who live this life and hoped to pay my respects to them with this shot.

entry description
This image was taken in April 2019 on a tour of Patagonia in Chile on the eastern side of the Torres Del Paine National Park. As the day was coming to a close after some stunning landscape photography I was fortunate to come across Gaucho's coming to the end of a long day as well, and herding sheep back into a field. Having photographed the Gaucho's in the farm earlier it was great to see this spectacle and this image provided the perfect scenic backdrop.The traditional life of the Gaucho is dying with a new world and modern technology.
