I spent the afternoon today in one of my favorite local towns – Arcadia, Fla. – for the annual Arcadia All-Florida Championship Rodeo.  I swear the 45 minute drive from my snowbird importing, condoville of a town in Sarasota is like stepping back into time or at least another state altogether.  Actually makes me a little homesick for Colorado.  I love it.  Today was especially fun, because this little arena has great access and a nice little catwalk.  I mean, when can you shoot bullriding with a handheld 16mm?  Never.

Bulls in a barrel.  Bulls in a barrel.

    Great stuff Chip. I’m drawn to the glove shot for some reason…I think it’s the colors.

    Chip, I am always in awe by what you see and the way you see it.
    I can only hope to see how you see and I wish I did.

    Very good pictures. The first one is exceptional. I like them because they are surprising.
