This man was with whom I presume to be his wife and the moment she stepped out of view I took this. There was something in this moment. This modern man with the cowboy hat considering a painting of a scene out of the Wild West. What did he feel when he looked at this? I personally cannot even imagine. Does he see this as reality or a romanticized past? Something he wishes he had been a part of? Something he feels he is connected to in some way? Fort Worth is such a unique place where the old exists alongside with the new. A place where the lines of the past and the present are blurred.
