considered the “Bull Riding” event to be the premier photographic opportunity of the rodeo, not only because of their sheer size and weight, but also because of the ferocity of the beasts. As a photographer I often seek out unique positions to capture interesting images. This time I thought that being right behind the chute where the bulls burst forward would be an ideal spot! It was interesting … but terrifying! At the end of the fourth night, after the last bull had flung off its unwelcome passenger, and the fans had filed out, and the lights were turned off for the final time, I actually felt a few melancholy pangs as I looked around the arena. While there are over 600 rodeos held in America each year, and some are iconic, like the massive week long “Calgary Stampede” in Alberta (which may have Hollywood actor Kevin Costner as its parade Marshall), and “Frontier Days” in Cheyenne, Wyoming (which may have country music superstars Brooks and Dunn performing center stage), no other rodeos can surpass the beautiful soul of a small-town rodeo like the one held in the heartland of America, Leon Iowa. When the gate flung open for this ride the bull immediately spun to the left, reared its hind quarters and let fly with a vicious double barrelled kick. The loud “PRANGGGGGGGG” that echoed in my ears as the bulls legs smashed the wrought iron bars inches from my face momentarily stopped my heart. Had those bars not separated that 1,600 pounds of solid muscle from my head your humble narrator would likely be composing this story with a pack of crayons and drool on my chin. The clots of dirt that flung from its legs and hooves covered my face and body. I deemed this as a good thing though because the mud splats on my clothing perfectly camouflaged the fact that I’d crapped my pants. Well done, guys. Well done. 16 Performances also included the ‘Wichita War Dancers’ first nations Comanche Kevin Browning, from ‘War Pony Productions’ Nick Jordan, the 2021 IRCA champion bareback rider lasted for the full 8 seconds. I bet your rodeo doesn’t have Mark Webber from Bloomington Illinois blasting away with his flame thrower!
