Shut Out the Chaos

One thing good that comes out of a difficult arena setup is that I get to make more of the pictures I like instead of the ones people expect. I love the behind-the-scenes part of rodeo.  You can see the contestants separate themselves from everybody else, the crowd and the noise — shut out the chaos — and focus on the next few seconds.

From the Georgia High School Rodeo Association event in the Northeast Alabama Agri-Business Center, Rainsville, Alabama.
