I have been home for two weeks! I know, crazy, but I have been keeping busy with scheduled photos sessions and the usual ranch work. The irrigation has come on finally here in Colorado which means we are in busy season. The water has torn down banks, over flowed ditches and best of all, watered... Continue Reading →
On the road again, this time in Fort Worth, Texas. I got to work with Andersen C Bar C Photography again as a hired gun at the Cinch Team Roping Finals. This was a long eight days of shooting hundreds of team ropers a day. Let me just say this trip lead to some extreme... Continue Reading →
