Each year we get an opportunity to photograph a rodeo in western Kansas. I do enjoy the rodeo and getting a chance to turn it into business is always a welcomed event. This year was particularly hot, however, with high temperatures up to 109F (42.7C). This did change the event a bit with riders and livestock seemingly not as active.
One of the favorite events by the crowd is always the bull fighting. In this event, dressed participants taunt the bull to score style points with judges. The more crazy and daring your antics are with the bull, the higher the point reward. At this years event, twice the bull came out ahead. It's a dangerous game where people can and do sometimes get injured.
