Yeehaw!! We’re back again at the Professional Bull Riding competition in NYC. This time, we’re more experienced and prepared, yet we still have so many questions and concerns. Last year, Kerry and I co-wrote a blog about our experience so this year I decided we should make a video about it. So, sit back and enjoy the vlog. Afterwards, take some time to enjoy the photographs.
When I attend an event like this, I’m always torn between taking photos and shooting video. If the story idea is clear before hand, I almost always shoot video. However, sometimes, I’d rather let my inner Gordon Parks let loose. Luckily, on this night, I brought 3 digital cameras and one film camera with me. Since I don’t own a good good zoom for my still cameras, I waited until I got close to my subjects before I took any pics. Which is probably the best rule anyways for good photography.
I really hope to shoot more documentary style photos like this in the future. If only for fun. I loved the run and gun nature of shooting like this. Having access is the biggest privilege to getting good shots sometimes.
Until next year, “Save a bull, ride a cowboy”.
