Westbound Dakota

This is a photograph of a Hobo called Beargrease who has unfortunately "caught a westbound" since this was taken.

These photos were taken by director and film maker John T Davis during the making of the critically acclaimed film 'Hobo'. Hobo is an intensely personal portrait of the classic American railroad traveller. A wandering man, cast by choice into the world outside the law, into a world that has its own values and codes, a culture that still exists in America.
