  • It’s not often that a photographer happens upon such a humorous juxtaposition like this...a visage of a behemoth bull stealing a fleeting chance to imbibe in the champagne toast of an unsuspecting celebrant. It’s a fun image that required anticipation of the moment.

  • I'm a country boy at heart. I grew up around cattle, working like a ranch hand with my dad. So, I know that getting all those cows to stand there long enough for a photo wasn't nearly as much challenge as wrestling up a bunch of groomsmen for some quality time before a camera. Either way, here's a fun photo loaded with as much delight as a good steak.
