The ride lasts 8 seconds but the memory lasts a lifetime...
How 8 Seconds Photography Can Help You
As the chute gate opens or barrier drops, the years of hard work and training, the hours of planning and preparing, countless bumps, bruises, cuts and broken bones, and the endless miles of travel, all fade away. For a few short seconds, it is the chance to live the dreams of every cowboy and cowgirl, all eyes around the arena are fixated on them.
Within seconds they become either champion, enjoying the thrill of a winning ride or they are dusting off the agony of defeat, and looking ahead to the next go.
For the cowboys and cowgirls, rodeo producers, stock contractors, rodeo clowns and bullfighters, pickup men, fans, and others who bring the rodeo to life, it is not just a ride or a night but a way of life, and it does not have to be just an 8 Second Ride.
8 Seconds Photography by Steve Johnson, helps rodeo committees and producers, stock contractors, cowboys and cowgirls and fans enjoy the thrill of the ride over and over again and helps tell the amazing story of the rodeo.
