Cowboy photographer Jimmy Peters hugs his sister, Shirley Taylor, at the opening of the cowboy art show at the Martin Art Gallery. Peters' photos of cowboys in action capture the day-to-day tasks they perform. Works by noted filmmaker VIctor Milt, who directed the film, "Cracker: The Last Cowboys of Florida," are also on display at 207 East Magnolia Street. The exhibit is free and open to the public.
