Stepping out of the Photograph, Momentarily - But Staying in Character Always

I jumped off my Pony and hopped down out of the photograph onto the Great Plains 'set' for a photograph in front of MY RANCHING LIFE BILLBOARD. Transitioning from the Black and White version of my life to the full on color version.

My ranching partner getting a closer look at MY RANCHING LIFE BILLBOARD as we reminisced about the scene depicted in the photograph when we were working with the crew gathering cattle on the Brunsch Ranch. Reality meets reality.

Ala Gil Sheperd in "Purple Rose of Cairo" MY RANCHING LIFE Ranching Partner emerges from within the photograph transitioning from the Black and White version of himself riding on the point of the herd to the present tense full color version of himself ... Except, no acting involved - full on real deal through and through ... Both characters are one in the same ... (Lyle O'Bryan & MY RANCHING LIFE BILLBOARD September 29, 2013) ...

MY RANCHING LIFE BLOG

Sometimes current, sometimes from the past. Photographs (some from horseback some not from horseback) & writings from my time working on the Quarter Circle XL Ranch since 2002 when I relocated from New York City to the tiny Badlands town of Interior, South Dakota & started ranching as a complete novice - to present goings on with me, Pony & the cows...Riding across the same land as the cowboys who came before me, I sit on my Pony & look across the land and try my best to time travel. Riding around in a cinematic day dream under a cyclorama sky on this back lot of a western movie set in 'costume' playing the role of my lifetime.
