Helix Oregon, Heart of the Country Rodeo 09

The first time I saw photos from the Helix rodeo I had one question: where is this place?? These were some up close and personal shots of some seriously rank broncs! The photographer (Mackenzie Williams) told me about this little tiny town tucked away in the rolling farmland north of Pendleton and convinced me it was worth the five hour drive for me to get there. That first year I took one of my favorite shots (ever!) which I named Quantum 9 after the Helix rodeo arena. The road trip out to Helix (hitting every other rodeo and stop of interest along the way) has become a tradition for me and has yet to disappoint. Here are some of my favorites from this year:

Liz, this is the first time I've been to your site. I met Kent Kerschner last night here in Oklahoma and so I was checking out the rodeoshooters site and saw your name. Being you were the only female on the board, I had to come see your work. Love it! I used to live in Washington. Anyway, e-mail me, I have a question!!
