These are a few of the people who devoted their talents and energies to the Silver Spurs & Cowboys products.

Many thanks to the cowboys and cowgirls who kindly shared their insights and time with our creative teem.

Michael W. Rutherford - Photographer
A commercial photographer and studio owner in Nashville, Tennessee, Michael has produced award-winning photography for 20 years. In addition to the Silver Spurs & Cowboys products, Michael's photography is found in many arenas worldwide. As the official photographer for the Republican National Convention (1984 and 1988), he produced photography for a book by former President Reagan, Bringing American Back. In 1997, he was the first since Norman Rockwell to be awarded a commission to produce posters for the National Office of the Boy Scouts of America.

His first book, The American Cowboy: A Tribute to a Vanishing Breed, was published in 1990. This book, which sold out in its first printing, is part of the Cowboy Hall of Fame's permanent collection in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. His desire to travel new lands and meet people across the globe has been a driving force behind several photographic trips across the U.S., Canada, Central America, Russia, China and much of Western Europe. Recent trips to Ireland and Scotland resulted in the publication of Timeless Ireland: Faces and Places of the Emerald Isles.

R. W. Hampton - Contributor to "Real Life" CD-ROM
A singer, songwriter and working cowboy, R.W. Hampton has recorded several CD's of old-time cowboy classics as well as his own songs.
