It's Rodeo Season

This weekend will mark the 51st Riverdale Rodeo. Spring time in California means rodeo season. One of the bigger rodeos is the Clovis rodeo, which featured PBR riders this year.

Being a small town newspaper, the Riverdale Rodeo is a huge event for us and the community. The only thing is, it happens every year. So how do you shoot something that will be very similar to what you shot the year before? I also recently shot the Laton Rodeo, and no matter how cool shots on a a bull are, it is the same thing that has ran in the paper years before.

To keep this year from getting too repetitive I hope to try some different perspective at the rodeo grounds and possibly come away with a multimedia project including comentary from the riders themselves. But in the end how many different ways is there to shoot a rodeo? I will try and find that out this weekend.
