    Ride'em Cowboy

    Here is an old one from about 6 or 7 years ago that I came across and thought I'd post it. This is my son Sam the bull rider. The image was taken with a Nikon F2 and Sigma 80-200 zoom on 100 Kodachrome film.

    This big guy put him on the ground just fractions before the horn, but he hung on to the second one for the full 8.

    PS: Sorry for the quality here but this was a long time ago before my good glass and scanned on a very cheap flat bed. Oh and this is ISO 400 Kodacolor not 100 Kodachrome.

    Thanks Lori, wish I had a little better scanner and could scan the film rather than the 4x6 print. They were a little better quality then what shows up here.

    Thanks Lori and Brad. Believe me I would never think about it and thank goodness my son now agrees after a couple of broken bones.
