Riding High at the George Paul

Riding High at the George Paul
Riding High at the George Paul
This is Jake Littlefield captured as he came out the chute at the 2010 GPM Bull Ride. He took a 90.5 ride on this bull. I have been in the middle of the arena since 2006 shooting the action and this year was granted a Go Anywhere Photo Pass by the Champion Bull Riders (CBR) for all their events. I will be shooting the GPM again in May, have a month long showcase exhibition of bull riding photography and be in the arena at the Cheyenne Frontier Days in July so I am riding high as well. EGA

First I would like to thank Stan K. for his encouragement to me a long time ago to get into the arena despite my fears. Yes I have been hooked by these bulls and stomped on and bit by broncos but at 70 1/2 I am still at it and riding high so I placed this in the Loving Life category as it just does not get any better than this for me or Jake Littlefield or the CBR.
