Mountain Ranch” is a ten-year exploration of the disappearing world of cattle ranching in the mountains of Colorado. In this work, Michael Crouser has concentrated on the traditional elements of these traditional lives, focusing on how ranching has stayed the same, rather than on how it has changed. Ranchers refer to themselves as an “endangered species” and Crouser’s pictures include the vital elements of their life and work, which will disappear as traditional ranching itself goes away.
