Laughing CowboyCasual environmental portraits are off taken without the subject’s knowledge or permission.  Many people feel uncomfortable having their picture taken by a stranger and have a tendency to stop what they are doing and avoid the photographer, thus loosing the moment.   

This photographer may have gotten the cooperation of this rodeo clown because he is used to being in the lime light and enjoys being the center of attention.  The Gabby Hazes caricature with his colorful costume and hobo appearance is an obvious choice of subjects.  His toothless smile adds to his persona of being a happy go lucky guy. 

The photographer did an excellent job of isolating our cowboy friend agents a simple background so that all our attention is drawn to the personality being photographed.  The conversion of the scarf to color adds to the hummer in this excellent environmental portrait.
