Rodeo Types
Once a year on the Brighton Seminole Reservation in Okeechobee, Florida an eclectic mix of Indians, tourists, weekend cowboys and the Real McCoys come together for the annual Field Days and Rodeo. The event consists of traditional Indian dances, crafts, food, fair and both a Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association competition and the eminently entertaining, amateur Seminole rodeo.
A sentry box set-up was used to photograph some of the many interesting characters who attended the rodeo and were also kind enough to pose for a portrait.
These are excerpts from a larger project on rodeo personalities that is still a work in progress.
