Description
This inspirational image by Lincoln Rogers combines a rodeo cowboy boot and spur photo with a John Wayne quote about courage - Courage is being scared to death, but saddling up anyway. - The authentic rodeo cowboy was standing behind the chutes waiting for his turn to ride. Photo layers, tint and textures have been added to give this Lincoln Rogers inspirational image a grittier, tougher, vintage or antiqued look and feel.
According to www.johnwayne.com: John Wayne was born Marion Robert Morrison in Winterset, Iowa, in 1907. When he was a boy, his family moved West settling in Lancaster, California and later Glendale, California where he would come to be known as Duke. Marion�s dog, an Airedale, was named Duke, and soon the local Glendale firefighters started calling Marion Duke, too. Duke�s academic and athletic success at Glendale High led to a football scholarship at the University of Southern California (USC).
A body surfing accident at Newport Beach cut short his promising athletic career, so the former tackle looked to studio work to help pay his tuition. In a film called The Big Trail, Marion Morrison became John Wayne, and the movie business � and the country � would never be the same.
John Wayne�s monumental film career spanned five decades. He appeared in more than 175 films, more than a dozen directed by John Ford alone. For an entire generation, he was Hollywood�s biggest and most durable box-office star. Incredibly versatile, Wayne starred in just about every genre Hollywood offered: war movies, romantic comedies, police dramas, histories. But it was the Western � the American cinema � where Wayne made his most lasting mark. He was nominated three times for the Academy Award, winning the Oscar for Best Actor in 1969 for True Grit. And his powerful performance in The Searchers has been singled out by filmmakers and actors alike as the greatest performance by an actor on film, ever.
Wayne is among only a handful of individuals

A big THANKS to the Findlay, IL buyer who purchased this as an 8x10. I am unsure how that chosen crop will work with the original formatted size and text on this image that I like very much, but I hope you are happy with how it turns out!
