Daniel Gonçalves: 2nd Amendment Cowboy | LENSCRATCH

Daniel Gonçalves (the “ç” sounds like an “s”) came to Houston with expectations of attending Session 2 of the FotoFest Reviews, but as soon as he arrived, he had to pack up his portfolios and head home as Covid 19 had forced a cancellation of the event. One of the projects he brought to the event was 2nd Amendment Cowboy. The series examines America’s love of gun, but also his own relationship to firepower. His photographs reveal a prideful and cavalier culture to gun ownership that remains ever present in the United States today.
