Rodeo photography life through the lens of Dudley Barker
Editorial recalls Dudley Barker the Texas rodeo photographer and his four night rodeo runs in Stephenville. Barker, with five years behind a camera, has shot 240 rodeos last year including finals, travels in a self contained trailer, and notes the arena as the worst studio. He photographs each contestant to ensure sale of his work, while the writer and John Wendeborn detail the dangerous, exhilarating world of rodeo photography and its solitary rhythm.
