You may have a "million calendars but that this just happens to be a calendar doesn't matter as much as it is mostly your first opportunity to buy some of the best photos I have taken in a small publication. I predict they will become prized collectors items. It is an 18 month Buckaroo Country Calendar (July 2008 to December 2009) featuring 39 of my best Great Basin buckaroo and ranch rodeo photos–well over 50 people represented!!!! They were taken during my travels thru eastern Oregon, northern Nevada and northern California in the last two years. I chose carefully to make sure I represented each region equally. The people, animals and places are what's really here if you visit. This pub is a window into the rare world where the old buckaroo traditions are still lived as they have been for a century or more. This IS the oldest and truest of the old west left in the United States. Enjoy! Co-produced by Carlos Macias of Lost Buckaroo.com...thank you Carlos!!!!

Pictured above: Cover: Glen Shelly, manager of Rattlesnake Creek Ranch near Burns, Oregon and also a bucking horse contractor for regional ranch rodeos. Note the 85' rawhide reata he uses with incredible skill. A couple weeks after this photo was taken, Glen was seriously injured when another horse blew up with him. As a result of the wreck he was hospitalized with a seriously broken pelvis, and now months later, he's still dealing with the effects. Top to bottom right to left: Teola and Wally Blossum, owners of hundreds of horses that run wild and free on Duck Valley Indian Reservation communal lands near Owyhee, Nevada. They supply bucking horses for ranch rodeos throughout Nevada, Idaho and eastern Oregon. Dave Weaver, famed Californio co-founder and lifelong buckaroo at the McDermitt Ranch Rodeo. Next 3 photos and middle bottom row photo: Typical ranch rodeo bucking horse action ...always wilder and woolier than"regular" rodeo action. The riders use their own ranch saddles and can hang on to their rope..or what ever else they can hang on to to stay on! Amos and Andy the big work horses are owned by nationally known cowboy poet and buckaroo Leon Flick. The day I photographed them they were pulling a buck rack to rake hay in a huge meadow near Plush, Oregon. Bottom left and bottom right two of my favorite photos from out on the road. The 1000 Creek Canyon area (right) is very special to me, as not only do I travel by it every time I go to Nevada from Oregon, but as a teenager I walked the length of the big canyon itself with my family.....one of the biggest adventures of my life as we almost didn't make it out once we got way back into it! These are only a sampling of the many photos in the publication!!
