It has been a great horse show year and in large part that is due to the re-opening of Grizzle Ridge Arena in Jerusalem, Ohio. Back in May when they put together their first show and was looking for a photographer at the last minute I wasn’t sure what was going to happen with this arena.
As a creator and an artist on of the things I love to do is enter contests. Not with the sole goal of winning but rather as a way to evaluate my work and growth through a panel of judges. Many competitions will provide feedback on your work for an added fee, and sometimes you may get a surprise and place or do better than you anticipated.
… Sometimes my adherence to my style choice pays off and I become a finalist which is a big accomplishment given the sheer volume of photographers in the world and who enter these contests…
I have waited what feels like years but in all reality has been months for a equine event of any kind to actually happen vs getting canceled thanks to Covid. Weekend of June 20th finally saw that first event….
A few days ago I posted about how one of my first rodeo images became a viral inspirational meme image. It was cool and the message was nice so to help further the reach I decided to give away an original signed print of the image…
So if you have been following along then you know I have been working diligently on a photo book now for about a year. It is almost release time and what better way to celebrate the release of my 156 page rodeo photo book than giving a copy away????????
