Dirt, Cowboys and Photographs
Follow my ramblings as I chase rodeos, talk about making photographs and comment
on the nature of people with cameras...both good and bad.

Excellent photography isn't about equipment (although many amateurs would have you believe that it is), it's about how well a photographer can capture and present their interpretation of an event. We all
know that bad photographers can't make a good photograph even when they have the best equipment. After all, a photograph is not a perfect replica of an actual event and professional photographers know
that. So we use our it comes to making a great photograph, not the equipment. Of course, this whole process requires the very human element of understanding our viewer's expectations.

We understand our viewers expectations pretty well. We talk with competitors, stock providers, announcers, the audience, family and friends...all in an effort to get a better understanding of what is expected.
We don't just shoot and hope to get a few good pictures. We also seek out peer review; comments and critiques...from other professional photographers. We listen to what other professionals have to say
about our photographs, our methods and techniques. We seek out criticism. We do all of this as part of our process to make outstanding photographs.

Amateurs take pictures. Professionals make photographs. There is a difference and we know it!
