The annual rodeo was back in Dripping Springs this past weekend and I spent Friday and Saturday hanging around the Ranch Park documenting the event. As always, my favorite shots came from behind the scenes as cowboys prepared to ride and their kids looked on.
As you may expect given the danger of the sport, there’s a fair amount of prayer going on behind the chutes. This frame shows one moment that I found particularly touching as one of the cowboys knelt and shared a prayer with his sons before competing.
