For National Geographic's December 2007 issue, he documented working cowboys, covering 14 Western states, Mexico and Canada. He photographed using a mid-19th Century wet plate technique and printed the results as tintypes. This cumbersome process required him to tow a darkroom trailer behind him for some 40,000 miles, often down very isolated roads.
The show will be online.
His latest book is Still: Cowboys at the Start of the Twenty-First Century (The University of Texas Press). An NPR interview with Kendrick is at http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=18592716
Kendrick lives in Mexico in San Miguel de Allende with his wife, writer Jeannie Ralston, and their two boys.
