Ogden Pioneer Days Rodeo 2016

I had another full and fun week shooting the annual Ogden Pioneer Days Rodeo for the Standard-Examiner. I split my time between working on a stop-motion video of the rodeo and taking photos. Check out a few highlights below.

Ogden Rodeo Highlights

One of the best parts about being a photographer in Ogden is shooting photos at the annual Ogden Pioneer Days Rodeo. I spent a bit more time this year shooting video and shooting behind the scenes. Here are some of the highlights from the past week.
