The stuff cowboys are made of.

Loading ...Here are a handful of shots from the rodeo this past weekend, and one of the young folks who demonstrated the cowboy way at quite a cost. Appears he lost his edge soon out of the gate, but he was holding on with all he had to try to hold out until the buzzer went off. Problem was, looked like his hand got wrapped up too tight in that bucking strap, so he got stuck to that bucking steer and taken for quite a ride (and a beating).
Once the bull fighter got his hand loose and he was able to hit the ground, he stayed there for a few long, tense moments. But the young fella WALKED out of the arena on his own. Yep, he walked slow and had a bit of a gimp, but walk he did.
I got a total of 10 shots of this ride, but missed the most important one…the one of the cowboy walking out of the arena. Well actually, I DID get that one, but it was blurred as all get out because I was so excited to see him walking out on his own and so busy clapping and cheering, I wasn’t paying attention to GETTING THE SHOT. Well, whatever. It’s no secret that I need to work on my photo documentary skills. Most important thing was COWBOY UP!

Hey Donna, I was there with ya and I know you felt just as bad as I did watching that little cowboy get thrown about and you wanna hold your breath and yell at the same time and as photographers we need to get that shot but your thinking should I really be shooting this and then it clicks, Yes I should! It’s a memory for the young cowboy and the photographer and in the end both the photographer and the cowboy are happy and ride off into the sunset.
