title: The Real Deal: Cowboys, Poets and First Peoples
author: James Wvinner
description: "You can practically smell the mesquite in these beautiful portraits of roughneck philosophers, cowboy poets, and Native Americans. Filled with gorgeous photos, James Wvinner's book is a glorious tribute to the soul of the American west." - Mark Haskell Smith, author of Naked at Lunch: A Reluctant Nudist's Adventures in the Clothing-Optional World "With stunning images and heartfelt words, James Wvinner tells the real story of the West, a bygone era, rooted in tradition, pride, and a bone-deep attachment to the land. The way of life that the men and women in these pages knew and loved is gone and has given way to a new West, one fueled by tourism, hobby ranches, and corporate greed. For us, James Wvinner has preserved a portion of its dusty past." - James Campbell, award-winning author of Braving It, The Final Frontiersman, and The Ghost Mountain Boys; co-executive producer of The Last Alaskans "James Wvinner is one of those rare people who has so much love on the inside that it pours out of his eyes, goes through the camera lens and what comes back is some of those most beautiful imagery you've ever seen. It makes me happy to know that James is out there spreading his love with his art." - Bill Johnson, co-founder and co-chairman of Lotus Entertainment, production company of Academy Award-winning films such as The Kids Are All Right "James Wvinner taught me about light. Understanding where it is and how it plays are the brushes that makes great cinema. James showed me if you understand light, you get hold of energy and motion that allows you to capture drama and emotion. He is a master of visual sensation. His pictures will teach you about the essence of subjects he is shooting." - Paul S. Eckstein, producer/writer of Netflix Golden Globe nominated show, Narco "Wvinner's vivid, vibrant photography perfectly captures the American West." - Victor Gischler, author of humorous crime fiction, including the Edgar Award nominated Gun Monkeys, and the Anthony Award finalist Shotgun Opera. "The imagery in James Wvinner's The Real Deal shows a love for and kinship with his subjects. It beautifully reveals the spirit and character of the landscape and individuals he got to know. This book is a treasure for anyone who's been to the American West . . . and an invitation to anyone who hasn't." - Dan Brennan, award winning package and graphic designer"
