This bareback rider and horse shot out of the chute like nobody's business. Action from the 2011 Hamel Rodeo, Corcoran, MN. I took a little artistic license with this one. But no pixels were harmed in the making of this photo!

This bull rider ate some real estate. Kind of a throwaway frame, but I thought you guys might find it interesting.

Steer wrestling action from the 2011 Hamel Rodeo in Corcoran, MN. To simulate proper bulldogger form, simply drive your car down the street at about 35mph (56kph), open the window, and then leap out and grab onto your neighbor's mailbox (assuming it's a 500-pound mailbox). Seek emergency room care as necessary.

Dawn at Dead Horse Point State Park, Utah. If you're ever shooting in the Moab area, you owe it to yourself to visit this spectacular state park at least once. The turnoff is just before you get to the Island In the Sky entrance to Canyonlands National Park. Figure out when the sun rises and get your butt out of bed. You'll have the place practically to yourself, and when the sun hits those cliffs across the way, the golden color will smack you in the face. And you'll always remember the silence and solitude, and the thought that this drama has been playing on Earth's stage for millions of years, and will for millions more to come.

Petroglyphs along the path to Delicate Arch, Arches National Park, Utah. No doubt graffiti left by teenage Native American hooligans. Damn kids! And get off my lawn!
