Blank_page --Jahiel is one of the select few photographers who possess the sensitivity necessary to record this aspect of Americana. They succeed because their total involvement and immersion in the culture results in images that penetrate the glossy superficiality so pervasive in the popular press. --Camera and Darkroom --Jahiel catches the play of light, the rush and texture of the clouds, the blurry poetry of dust, but, most of all, the precise steady energies and weariness of the animals and the cowboys. Though the subject is familiar, the invigorating art of these photos cuts right through all the cliches with intoxicating directness. --Bruce Richardson, art critic --?The Starkness of Jahiel?s The Last Cowboy project is the most eloquent of elegies? -Jacqueline M. Pontello, Southwest Art Magazine, Sept ?94 --?Everywhere, there is texture and grit, and the placement of light requiring the basic mastery of light unique to accomplished photographers in complete control of equipment, light, and above all, decision making.? -Jack Elder, Art Critic --These dramatic photographs recall the great historic paintings of artists such as Frederic Remington and Charles Russell. --Westword, Denver, Colorado ?Jahiel?s West is a place of real accomplishment and emotion, in which the cameraman has captured the seriousness and balletic grace of the job of the cowboy?not just the longing in a little boy?s heart. -Joel Weinstein Ft Worth Star Telegram April 12, 1998 ? The purest documentary portraits are those of Adam Jahiel of Story, Wyoming. These are simple poses of everyday life, men and animals. But the artist is showing us something about the toll the life can take. From the fresh faces of the young men to the fatigue and weather-beaten faces of the older men, these are a good look. And Jahiel?s silver gelatin prints are stunning.? James Bays, Art critic ?Jahiel?s black and white images have an honest individuality the burns into memory. Making each print some kind of perfect truth. Jahiel?s photographs speak, softly, but with certainty. They touch us by the blend of tone, gesture, expression, and light. Time after time, his photograph success because they reach our emotions first and then our intellect.? Persimmon Hill, Winter 1998 ?Adam Jahiel has the uncommon ability to catch images that undoubtedly refer to the myth of the cowboy, but at the same time reflect a truth that completely transcends the myth?.
