Reviews
The work is deliciously reflects the absurd parts of the American culture and landscape and in an era when politics overshadow our country, it is a pleasure to laugh at ourselves through a new perspective. - Lenscratch
- The American West may be fundamentally ineffable, but Carson has managed to impose his own order upon it. To him, it's a visual playground of long roads, arid spaces, and cultural incongruities. Each photo captures a minor absurdity. A tree advertised with a Free sign. A store called Die Mart . A formal chair set in the river shallows. A deserted sedan is full of currency. And so on. Fans of David Graham, Phil Bergerson, and Zoe Strauss will find a lot to like here. - photo-eye - Photo books that make me smile are rare. Sandy Carson's I've Always Been a Cowboy in My Heart is one of them for this Scotsman has an eye for the absurdities of daily American life. - F-Stop Magazine - The work is deliciously reflects the absurd parts of the American culture and landscape and in an era when politics overshadow our country, it is a pleasure to laugh at ourselves through a new perspective. - Lenscratch - That's the first image in I've Always Been a Cowboy in My Heart, the new book by photographer and veteran Chronicle contributor Sandy Carson, and it's a pretty good indicator of the kind of work you'll see throughout its pages: firmly rooted in place - unquestionably the U.S., and most of the time pretty obviously the western half; marked by the unexpected or surprising; keenly observed; artfully composed; wry. -The Austin Chronicle
