On My Way Home


Brian Junior grew up in Dayton, Texas - a rural area infused with the history of the Black cowboy, which has been an instrumental figure on American soil since the 1800s. A rich heritage that is governed by principles of devotion, honest work, community, and legacy. Being young and from a small town, the significance of home can be lost on you, so you leave in pursuit of the “dream.” Brian eventually found himself back in Dayton seeking reconnection to the elements that grounded him. “On My Way Home” is the promise of his return. Brian dedicated the last two years to traveling and photographing everything from rodeos to ranchers and other elements of the black western lifestyle in the surrounding areas. This collection emphasizes the intricacies and authenticity of his home. The people are a visual and symbolic representation, diving into their genius and legacy as a backdrop to tell this story.

Home is not merely a place but an aspect of life you return to.
