Patagonia Cowboy
Sebastian Iglesias, a Chilean cowboy, leads his horse through the mountains in search of roaming cattle in southern Patagonia, South America. These gauchos forge a hard life, riding from sunrise to sunset.

beautiful work on your site by the way. I love the one with the guitarist and the cigarette smoker. fantastic light.
Mustafah,
really great essay. I lived 3 childhood years in Tierra del Fuego… i keep in mind exactly the same image of the man sitting and drinking after tough work and solitude… the sprite bottle and the wine ‘bota’ behind. Terrific.
Akaky,
Huasos are ‘cowboys’ from central part of chile. In patagonia they are supossed to be called ‘ovejeros’ intending to make the difference with argentina, but since they look and wear the same are mostly called gauchos, like in southern Brazil as well… Mount saddle on horses is the argentinian way too-different from huasos.
cheers, eduardo
