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.
