This was so much fun. I went out and photographed the Rodeo in Northfield, MN. I watched a bit of the action when the guys came out of the gates, but wanted to see what happens behind the scenes. I started talking with the riders that were in a fenced in area with all their saddles, boots, hats, rope and extra pairs of dirt stained jeans sitting around. I started shooting my photos, mainly from the hip, so I got some real good decisive moments. When most photographers were out capturing peak action of the guys actually riding, I was behind the scenes capturing what these guys are all about. I had the excitement of capturing the rituals they go through before saddling up, the ups and downs from a good or bad ride and the bond they all share with one another as riders.
