It was wet, cold and a bit bleak but that is more appropriate weather for the scenes we were shooting than balmy sunshine. Flat light can be a photographer’s great friend in scenes like this, so long as the rain holds off.

The second addition was to bring in a horse and rider to run alongside the steam train. This is not a job for part time cowboys as the steam and the smoke from the train are uncertain variables for a horse. Ty Mitchell is an old hand at this kind of stuff; Martin Scorsese cast him as the bad guy in Killers of the Flower Moon and he is certainly a bad ass dude.

Ty is as good and game as they come, but even he fell off his horse shooting this sequence; the first time I have seen him do that in our six-year friendship. Huge respect to him for just getting up and giving it another go.

The result is a strong picture with enough layers to tell a full story. I had props at my disposal for the concept to have potential, but the ex*****on here was a little harder than most. But all you need is one good cowboy and one good frame, and eventually we got it.

Malaika Temba’s commissioned piece, “She Weaves White Gold,” is now on view at and is a must see!!!
