About Westerner

A slow magazine for the long road west

Westerner is a field journal of the American Southwest: its roads, ranch towns, plants and skies. One stop at a time, every Sunday.

How we work

Three rules for the road

I

I

Go slow

We drive the small roads and stop when something is worth a second look.

Ask first

Ranches and towns are people’s homes. We ask before we photograph or open a gate.

III

III

Leave it as found

No rocks, no plants, no shortcuts off the trail. Just notes and photographs.
