Hi everyone-

Today's image was shot in the are behind the chutes at the rodeo grounds. These guys are all bull riders and they are hanging out in the shade of a horse trailer waiting for their turn to ride.

there is a bond between these guys. They are friends on the and off the road. Seeing each other every weekend, sharing rides and a bond knowing that most people could never do what they do every weekend on the road.

They were kind enough to let me have a few moments with them shooting images pretty close up and right in their faces. They joked around and teased each other while I shot. It was a lot like what might happen if shooting in the fire house.

I am posting two images today because I am not sure which I like better. Do the borders help? Do they really make no difference or do they take away from the image? What do you think?

Thanks for your input, Have a great day!
