Cowgirls and Indians #1
Bozeman, Montana
2016

Recently we attended in short sequence both a college rodeo and an Indian powwow at the university field house. In both cases I concentrated on faces of the participants. So I decided to mix them up in the same series. At the rodeo we only watched the barrel racing event so those photos all show women either in the middle of their run (hence their looks of intense concentration on their task) or waiting to start.

On Point
Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
2016

This bear seemed to be doing an imitation of a hunting dog. He (she) stayed on point for a long time, apparently just staring at nothing. Perhaps it was just out of hibernation and hadn’t woken up fully yet. I feel like sometimes in the morning, although to my knowledge I rarely point in such circumstances.
