Cowboys' Rodeo

In the American West, cowboys embrace life's literal and figurative rough rides when entering rodeos to face huge competition with hopes of big payouts. Rodeos attract even the youngest talent for participation, while seasoned veterans strive for success on prized bulls or wild horses. Some cowboys might say it is part training, part skill and part luck whether you conquer the animal or hang your head in defeat.

Eric Kruszewski is a self-taught, emerging photographer whose love of photography began in 2008 after his travels throughout India. The country's constant energy, true emotion, vibrant color, and pure culture inspired Eric to capture everyday life. His sense of curiosity and passion for photography take Eric across the globe where he immerses himself in people's lives and illustrates their life through the lens. His passion lies in finding simple moments in an otherwise busy and complex world. He hopes to tell stories about those who feel they may not have a "voice" and thus allow viewers to become lost in someone else's tale. Eric is based in Washington DC, but is currently in Toronto working on a documentary feature.
