Cody warms up by pretending to ride a bull backstage.
“I’m gonna conquer that bull”…
That bull is gonna toss ya…
You got eight seconds…
Get ‘er Done!…
Got the wind knocked out of him when he fell off the bull….

Shot a few frames of bullriders at the URA Winter Rodeo in Columbia. I looked for ways of showing bullriding that went beyond the action shots of the rider on the bull, mid-ring. In fact, I wanted to avoid that shot altogether and break the rules a bit.
The whole bullriding shebang lasted less than fifteen minutes. I wish it went longer, as I could have spent all day shooting this!
Black and white was the perfect choice…captured the intensity of the riders without any distractions…great light and shadows.The “eye shots”…makes me wonder what’s going on in there…Good work!!
rull purdy.
Nice! I really like the second and third…nice points of view…
Love looking at your photos. You always catch everything at the right time. Well done!
