Sorry for my absence. I’ve been lost.

I’m excited to be sharing work from my project ’Lost Hills’ while taking-over CENTER Santa Fe’s feed this week. I hope you’ll stop-by @centersantafe to see the work and lean a little more about the vital photography organization. ⁣ ⁣ You might have caught my news that the series, which includes this photograph, was just collected by the Library of Congress. It’s just incredible to me that this project —my look at life and work in a small town of oil and agricultural workers in CA’s Central Valley— is now part of the historical record. ⁣ ⁣ About this photograph: Jose Saldaña wears the traditional dress of the charreada, or Mexican rodeo, while astride his colt Chapulín in the front yard of his home in Lost Hills, CA on March 28, 2009. Jose, 23 years-old in this picture, works in Kern County’s oil fields to help support his aunt, uncles, sister, brother, two nieces, and a nephew. On his days off, Jose practiced charreada equestrian and lariat exercises, and regularly competed with a team at charreadas in the Central Valley.⁣ ⁣ From the project ‘Lost Hills’⁣ samcomen.com⁣ #samcomen #samcomenphotography
