To witness the rodeo as I have is a task of true expression that words struggle to capture, especially for those unacquainted with such an experience.

There exists a savage intensity in every moment.

For years, I held no inclination to attend a rodeo, let alone capture it on film, for I believed it to be inhumane. Ironically, this belief led me to accept the challenge presented by Bud Longbreak, a former World Bronc Riding champion.
