The story

Local boys drove calves into the corral for the roping event, the same ranch skill that started rodeo in the first place. Lee's dusty, sunlit frame feels like a Remington with a camera.

About the photographer

Photographer · 1903–1986

Russell Lee worked for the Farm Security Administration with a patient eye for crowds. At a San Angelo rodeo he turned away from the arena and caught one man laughing. At the Pie Town fair in 1940 he photographed the rodeo itself, and the calves driven in for roping.

Size guide

Sizes follow this picture. A framed print adds the mat and the moulding, so the outside is larger than the sheet. Canvas is the face size, with a 1.5 inch edge that does not add to the front.
