After retirement, I relocated to southern Utah. With five National Parks within its borders, Utah offers an abundance of photographic opportunities. And then there's rodeo.
During the next four years, I photographed almost every High School rodeo in Utah. I was a sponsored photographer for three years. I now limit myself to four pro rodeos every year.
Rodeo kids tend to be friendly, polite, and respectful. A prominent rodeo family invited me to participate in their roundup. On a cold day in February, twelve cowboys and I rode into the mountains with the objective of finding cows and moving them to their summer pastures. I rode a rodeo horse.
I decided I wanted to learn to ride. I began lessons. I had no concept of the challenge that I faced.
