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.

Fireworks Over Camano Island

Took some photos during the Fourth of July while launching and watching fireworks over Puget Sound. Having a large aerial firework explode while on the ground is pretty high on the list of dangerous holiday accidents, but it sure made for an interesting photo.
