Photos: Rodeo People Up Close

One of my never-ending ramblings is about the “stories” that rodeo has to tell. Here are a couple of shots from my new series: “Rodeo People Up Close.” The first image is Jimbo Kimbro. Kimbro, retired from bull riding, is a bull riding judge that has reached the highest level-the PBR’s Built Ford Tough Series. His father is the legendary “Ridin'” Clyde Kimbro. The second image is Jacob Payton. Payton has a tremendous amount of rodeo experience as a competitor on both ends of the arena, a bullfighter and as a production hand.
