Being John McEnroe (B&W)

JACKSON HOLE, WYOMING – 2025

“The Silver Dollar Saloon at the Wort Hotel in Jackson Hole is a celebrated institution. There are quite a few bars scattered across the US sharing the same name, but I doubt many share the vice like grip that this venue holds over the local community.

I sat with the GM over Thanksgiving lunch in 2025 and he told me that they would hope to do 650 covers that day. That is a material operation, not the numbers of a poorly operated dive bar. There are no central archetypes at the Silver Dollar – it seems to play host to anyone living in the zip code and that makes for a rich visual feast. There are, however, more cowboy hats here than in a Parisian cafe.

The lead feature of the saloon is a neon illuminated winding bar which incorporates over 2,000 silver dollar coins into its resin surface – it’s part disco, part Lonesome Dove and it should not work aesthetically and yet it emphatically does. It was clearly the central prop around which to build this carefully staged vignette.

My central character for this set was the unique national treasure that is John McEnroe – musician, tennis legend, commentator, artist and general badass. John cannot really be pigeonholed into a convenient silo but give him a Gibson guitar and a cowboy hat and he looks much more at home here in the heart of the American West than he ever did at Wimbledon.

We had fun with the set dressing; I wanted a few nods to his presence in the bar which all added to the parody. I think an evening unfolding like this is entirely plausible at the Silver Dollar.”

    “I want to thank American supermodel – Brooks Nader – for playing to my narrative that freezing January morning beneath the Tetons. She is very game; in fact, she may well serve as my enabler. Not many girls we work with could pull off that look in those temperatures. The Devil may well wear Prada, but Brooks wears very little, even when it is hellishly cold.

    If the town of Zermatt in Switzerland has the Matterhorn, then Jackson Hole has the Tetons. Both communities stand guarded by Twin Peaks mountains so dramatically grand that there is an extra sense of excitement on arrival. To land at Jackson Hole airport on a clear day is a thrill, even for the most travel weary of passengers; there is as pronounced a visual overload as there is at any airport in America. When I think about the town of Jackson, I find it impossible not to think about the Tetons. To me they are coupled at the hip.

    Grand Teton, at 13,775 feet, is the highest point of the Teton Range and it rises steeply from the valley floor 7,000 feet below. The amphitheatre has offered a great canvas for photographers to tell stories since the invention of the camera and we always work here fully aware that we are on well-trodden ground.

    This January morning we brought a cocktail of props to the Tetons, including a rather special Ford Bronco. But there is a need to work quickly; as soon as the sun gains some height and strength, the light becomes a little harsh for me. The window is no more than 15 minutes and I think we were home in Jackson for breakfast by 9 am.”

        “On a clear day after a storm, there are few better places in which to get a camera out than Jackson Hole. In the first few minutes of full light in the valley floor, there is a chance to allow the camera to work to its full capability. There is decent depth of field without the light being too garish, but for every minute that passes, the light becomes harsher. Within 30 minutes the opportunity has gone.

                “Established in 1937, the Million Dollar Cowboy bar in Jackson, Wyoming is one of America’s landmark honky tonks. Its authentic western vibe draws hundreds of visitors a day and yet despite this fame, the joint retains a folksy charm.  That is quite a trick. It is the epicentre of the Jackson Hole community and probably always will be.

                Clint Eastwood has acted in the bar (Any Which Way You Can), Willie Nelson and Hank Williams Jr have sung there and I thought it was high time we filmed there. I was drawn to the ageless facade of the bar, with its retro neon lighting and famous rotating cowboy on horseback sign on the roof. My creative pondering never departed much from the premise that this backdrop offered a definitive sense of place and had to be paid homage to.

                Neon lights don’t do themselves justice during the day, but as the bar is busy until closing, 365 days a year, shooting at night offered challenges.  The solution was to film at 5.30 am and, on the morning of the shoot, this offered some bonuses as there was fresh snow and a temperature of 0°F. This extreme cold allowed the exhaust fumes from the Ford Bronco to add more drama to the set.

                I think a few cowboys were left a little disappointed with the manner of the cowgirl’s departure in this tableau. To leave the bar alone is one thing, but to leave with a wolf must have been distressing for all her courters. We would like to acknowledge John Baxter, the owner of the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar, and Jim Waldrop the GM for their kind partnership in this project. From the outset they embraced our creative vision and offered help and support. We must also thank Jonathan Ward, the owner of the beautiful Ford Bronco, and, of course, Brooks Nader for managing to look so spectacular in the freezing cold.

                    Poker Nights

                    Jackson Hole, Wyoming – 2025

                    “Poker was as integral a part of cowboy life in the long winter nights as it was around a campfire in the summer. It was the most common form of entertainment – especially if those cowboys could neither read nor write. There was also, of course, a transactional element to the activity; money would meaningfully change hands.

                    The problem in Wyoming, however, was the state outlawed gambling in 1901. But the iconic Cowboy Bar in Jackson Hole never really bothered with that too much. In the 1940s, customers entering the bar were greeted with roulette craps and poker tables throughout the main room. Meanwhile, big stakes poker games were held in the back.  It was a little Las Vegas as much as it was a watering hole and the use of space was a brazen affront to the law that played to the lore of the loosely governed wild west.

                    In 1951, Wyoming’s gambling crack down spread to the last stronghold – The Cowboy Bar – and when the bust came, early one Tuesday morning, there were apparently over 100 slot machines in operation. The Attorney General said of the raid “Jackson was one of the last bad spots and this probably winds it up”.

                    The bar would go on to reinvent itself into the iconic music and dancing venue that it is now.  But fabulous stories of this illicit gambling den remain for us all to enjoy. Apparently, one roulette wheel was fixed with numerous magnets hidden under the table, which allowed the dealer to determine the winning number.  The owner, at the time, was an electrician and he thought the customers were fair game.”
