Description A cowboy encourages his horse to run at the start of a relay race during the Bill Pickett Rodeo at the Show Place Arena in Upper Marlboro, Md., Sept. 24, 2016. During the relay race, riders work in a team of four passing a baton between one another and running around the arena in the shortest time possible. (Photo by Kristina Truluck)

Much like everything in life, sometimes you need to take a break to appreciate things you spend so much time around.  I've been going back through my photos and printing them in preparation for my move because it makes sense.    


I remember being so irritated and worried about my photos from the rodeo.  Months later, I'm looking at them with new eyes and fell in love with them again.  I encourage my students to do them same thing during their final exams for each functional area - stand up, go for a walk around the school, and look at your stuff with refreshed eyes.

The black and white beautifully captures the dynamism between horse and rider. Very fine, Kristina.

I love doing black and white for the rodeo.  It really brings out the drama and grit.

I'm trying to do it more often.  It's surprising how many more good photos show up.

Thanks!  Who knew deviating from my usual event lens would lead to some good photos?
