John Keatley, Photographer, Seattle

Description

An elderly man in a red shirt and shorts crouches to photograph a massive, dark horned bull standing in a dry, grassy landscape. The bull faces the photographer, with faint vapor visible from its snout. Rolling hills stretch into the distance under an expansive, cloudy sky, with several other cattle grazing on a distant slope. The photograph is captured from a wide angle, emphasizing the dramatic scale and the surreal proximity between the man and the large animal. Natural daylight illuminates the dry terrain, creating soft shadows across the landscape.
