Cattle Ranch, Tulare County, California 2011

Sharon Lockhart’s anthropological sensibility leads to months and even years spent working with the same community. For More American Photographs, Lockhart spent time with cattle ranchers and attended cattle auctions in Tulare County. Lockhart captures the vast expanses of Central California, using the baron and wilted landscape to convey the hardships of a community where agriculture was once the main source of revenue.
