Quien Sabe Sunrise
Robert McCune
(see more by this artist)
Truck entry of the Quien Sabe Ranch in the Texas Panhandle, along the Canadian River. The 117,000 acre Quien Sabe is what is left of the legendary 3,050,000 acre XIT Ranch. XIT stood for Ten Counties in Texas. Divided into four line-camp sections, the ranch has approximately 2500 cows, 175 bulls, and 70 horses.
Maggie and I camped on the ranch three days. During breakfast one morning, Calvin Peters (manager) explained: “The ranch is divided into four camps. Each one has its house and barn and corrals and pastures. Four cowboys are on the ranch full-time. Them and their families. I only hire men who have a family. Each cowboy is responsible for his camp....If they want to ride horses, we give (loan) the women ranch horses to keep at their camps. And every kid on this ranch that wants a horse, I get them a horse," (short pause), "if the kid gets good grades and does the homework. With these country kids, that’s about the best way you can get their attention. The worse punishment we can put on kids out here is to take their horse away from them. I mean, that’s child abuse!”
As you can see, my photos are of art gallery quality, showing careful and time consuming in-the-field composition.
The two smaller size photos are printed by myself, on Epson Ultra Premium gloss paper via a Canon MG6220 Photo Inkjet Printer with a 6-color cartridge system. The two larger sizes are printed on order at a professional photo lab on an Epson Stylus Pro 9800, using Epson Premium Luster paper with Ultrachrome inks.
The two smaller sizes will be mailed flat; the two larger sizes in a tube. Shipment will be within 14 days, unless Maggie and I are on a photo-shoot.

Am unable to offer matting and framing.
5½x6 double-page note cards are also available, with a 4x6 photo on the front, and Title and anecdotal info on the back of the card. These are mailed in packages of five (5). Select any mix of five of my photos, and advise me via email. Cards are premium heavy weight quality.
ders from outside the U.S. are quite complicated due to each country's Import Value-Added-Tax. For instance, in Portugal this amounts to 23 percent of the value of the photo. Please ask about this via email. I’ll then check with the local post office, and get back to you via return email.
Please note. Your computer monitor might show lower brightness, contrast, and color than seen in the print itself. Also, there will be some loss of sharpness when zooming in to enlarge an image.
