  • DULUTH, GA - JAN 24, 2009: Thousands of people crowded into the Gwinnett Center for an evening of energized violence and brutality. The Toughest Cowboy competition had arrived. The contest involved 12 cowboys competing in the triathlon of cowboy chaos, bareback bronc riding, saddle bronc riding and bull riding. <br />
<br />
I was allowed to photograph from the rodeo dirt and focused my camera between the ring bars occasionally dodging hyper aggravated animals. I was so close I could hear the animals snort in Pain? Ecstasy? Revenge? Love? Death? I am not sure what they were feeling but they jumped and ran and kicked and screamed like beasts that had just been released from the gates of hell.<br />

  • DULUTH, GA - JAN 24, 2009:  The whole event seemed to teeter on epic disaster with batshit crazy horses running directly into fences at full speed and cowboys being thrown face first into the ground over and over again inside an arena of 5000 screaming people from the suburbs in cowboy hats and real cowboys from rural Georgia. It was insane, beautiful and chilling.<br />

  • ATLANTA, GA- June 12, 2008: Ralph Reed, A Dark Horse, book signing at the Atlanta Press Club.<br />
<br />
Ralph Reed is a long-time master of fiction. What J.K. Rowling has done for juvenile wizard stories, Reed has done for the myth that the Republican Party is a beacon of Christian decency. Despite his well earned reputation as a masterful teller of tales, it's only recently that the Duluth Georgia political consultant has turned his attention to novels.<br />
<br />
Reed's new book, Dark Horse, is a "political thriller" about a fictional presidential campaign featuring a black Democratic candidate, a loudmouthed minister and an assassination. <br />
