Publisher's Description
Over the course of four years Lili Tanner has documented bull riders at the “Wild Thing” bullring competition in Gallup, New Mexico.
On this particular frontier cowboys and Indians ?ght the same ?ght against wild bulls and their own gravity. They embrace a brotherhood of easygoing competitiveness in spirit but also one of support for one another. Friendship and camaraderie are easily detectable in these riders bound together by youth, strength and their shared pursuit of their quintessentially American happiness.
The iconography and mythology of the American West prevails here - denim, leather and even the ?owery prints radiate frontier masculinity and authenticity.
“Wild Thing” is not a book about the sport of bull riding. It’s a glimpse into the world of bull riding and the ?erce men and women who pursue it with style.
