Starting young, Cave Creek, Arizona, 2015

This young boy is preparing to ride a calf. Surrounded by six grownups, he seems to take it all in stride as his helmet strap is adjusted. There were a number of youngsters in the event. All wore protective headgear and had confidence in their ability to stay on their mounts for as long as possible. There is both a sense of vulnerability and innocence in this image.

He seems so vulnerable and innocent, yet he totally accepts his place in this ritual. That's exactly what I was trying to say with this image, Rose.

Excellent portrait of a cultural ritual of manhood.
