Welcome to my website
Just added are some shots made at the Airdrie Pro Rodeo. Wasn't as much fun as the Arrowwood show. Too many security people on the grounds, reflecting the officiousness of some of the organizers. Certain areas closed to photographers (don't we all love that!) and I was asked to remove myself from one of those areas, the one with the sun to my back, of course. Won't return to this rodeo but for sure will go back to the Arrowwood Rodeo as often as I can.
I spent Saturday, June 22 travelling to Arrowwood, Alberta to attend the magnificent country rodeo that the community hosts each year. Lots of stops along the way photographing scenes that presented themselves and including a stop for lunch at the Aspen Crossing Railroad Station. The rodeo action began at 1900 under beautiful bright skies and ended at approximately 2230. The fading evening light proved a challenge even for my trusty D700. Congratulations to the community organizers, officials, pick-up riders, bull fighters and the stock providers, Arrowwood local ranchers the Ashbacher family, and announcer Tyson Pietsch. But most of all, my thanks and boundless respect for the riders in all categories of the show. I trust my photographs do you justice. See the pictures by clicking on "Photographs" above and then on "At the Arrowwood Rodeo 2019".
My India Journal is now partly on this website. India was my first international project with the Canadian Teachers' Federation and the Alberta Teachers' Association. There is more of the journal still to come, once I have built up the resolve needed to listen to a scratchy tape re-recording of the original mini-tapes.
