People Photography - Any Year

Of the timed rodeo events, the roping events are the most dangerous to the calves and steers involved. Calves and steers are the cheapest animals to buy and replace, and injuring and killing them is simply considered a cost of doing business. A visitor to the PRCA Hall of Fame will note that none of the few animals that have been inducted are steers or calves. These animals upon which rodeo relies to put on a show aren’t considered important enough to rate a mention in the Hall of Fame. They’re considered disposable.

I realize that people can download posted images in galleries, there is no watermark protection. Therefore I withdrew all my images. I had bad experiences.

Generally I oppose cruelty to animals, even when it’s an old American tradition, for public entertainment. I also oppose any signals and displays that reminds us of a continued colonial attitude in Africa or other former colonies.

If I withdraw now would that give someone else the chance to enter another celebrity portrait? I want to keep with American standards.

Nice to see a couple of new photos here
