A Moment of Tranquility

The tranquil moment of the week comes from the beaches of northern California. Just south of Crescent city, California at the base of the redwoods, a lone gull looks for brunch.

Joe Duty shot rodeo photos for the East Oregonian in 2008, 2009 and then again in 2010 for the 100th Pendleton Round-Up. Many of these photos have become iconic, such as the shot of Trevor Brazile roping that graces the cover of our book "A Rodeo to Remember: The Centennial Pendleton Round-Up in Photos." Joe has the ability to capture not only hardcore rodeo action, but the behind-the-scenes shots that show the heart and soul of a rodeo, and he connects with people with great charm and humor.

Joe, this is such an awesome photo. The peaceful gull against the raging sea. What a contrast!

Thanks. Your photography is so appreciated by me and nothing captures my attention more than pictures of the sea.

Joe, this image is so much like life!! I have a lady friend that is trying to raise 3 daughters alone who is beginning to conquer life on life’s terms after some major setbacks, but is learning to take it one day at a time. To me this image says so much!! We face dangers everyday just trying to feed ourselves and our families. This gull has to feed its family knowing full well that it can be snatched out of the air at anytime but is WILLING to do what ever it takes to accomplish the feat!!
