Sunset burning gold behind the chutes. The historic Boley, Oklahoma rodeo grounds. I planned to be in position for this moment — but you can't plan what happens when the gate opens . Nobody can. When this rider exploded out of the chute on that bucking horse, you hope for the best. You can't manufacture a moment like this. You just have to be ready when it comes. That's what this image is about. Breakthroughs don't wait for you to be comfortable. They don't care if you're nervous or tired or unprepared. When your moment comes — and it will come — you better be dialed in. Hungry. Ready to go through a wall. This print is for the person sitting on the edge of their own gate right now. The one who knows something big is coming and is doing everything they can to be ready for it. Be ready. Printed by hand in my own studio on archival paper rated to last 200 years. Show more
