bill picket rodeo 2024
Spent a beautiful Saturday afternoon in Castro Valley, Calif., photographing the Bill Picket Invitational Rodeo for the SF Standard. This rodeo is the first Black touring rodeo, and this year, they celebrate their 40th year. There’s an even longer history of Black cowboys and girls in the United States, and the rodeo both celebrates this and gives riders the opportunity to compete on the national stage. This was such a fun, wild, exhilarating day, and brought together my love for sport and culture.
