I am so glad I stumbled upon this finished project. It was wonderful to have you out to the LDD rodeo. You did a wonderful job capturing the spirit of the whole celebration.
Incredible photography. Thanks for mentioning the Cowgirls Historical Foundation as well (I am the one in the photographs of the group without the hat).

Thank you so much for coming out to LDD. I have worked this rodeo on and off for the last 11 years and it’s great to be able to share it with people from all walks of life. When Gary sent me the link and I saw Clayton I just had to send him the link. Thank you guys so very much for coming out.

Thank you so much for coming out to Lost Dutchman Days. I used to work the rodeo with all the other SMPC crew but now I’m on the side lines watching as I am a mom now. We all look forward to Lost Dutchman Days Every Year. It’s All Volunteer and It’s for the kids. But we all love the rodeo and live for it. Great pictures you all did an exceptioal job.

That picture with the bird flying over the bulls, and the cowboy baling hay next the saguaro is wonderful.

The poop spray is unreal!

Ah. I hadn’t realized that was poop. Nice.

I personally am not a huge fan of poop spray… I am a fan of these pictures though! Also, I’ve been really enjoying the stories and commentary. I’m not sure if I’m just reading it more carefully these days or if it truly has grown more in depth, but I feel like I am really able to travel vicariously with you guys to these obscure parts of our country!

It was a tactical move, really. Fitting in is the most important part of photography!

I think it’s nice you guys tried to fit in by wearing plaid shirts.

I agree with Craig for some of the best photos. Andrew, the spraying poop shot is just amazing. Great job getting that in it time. Did it get one you? Hope the drive today goes well, stay safe and post some pics of the Canyon soon! Great job.

Congratulations guys on another fascinating look at American subculture. Favorites were the intro shot, bird flying by the guy bailing hay, and of course the spraying poop shot.
