RedShoesGirl said:PRCA rules - wrangler is a huge sponsor and nothing but wranglers allowed in arena area. and that includes those of us that are just covering the rodeo - wrangler jeans, boots, long-sleeve shirts and cowboy hat. very hard to shoot with a flash with a cowboy hat on!
cowboys jeans are very long and all wrinkled up from the knee down. looks like they are four inches too long. i'll try and find a shot i did several years ago at the pendleton round-up — where they are very picky about what shooters wear — of cowboys back stage and their legs and funky jeans.

I used to shoot pics at PRCA rodeos in CA, and yes there are rules about what you have to wear, easy for me as that was what I wore anyway. I shot for myself, reference material for my paintings. Haven't been to a rodeo in years, too busy doing other things. But, we used to have box seats at the Cow Palace for years, took my deaf grandmother there a few times, she loved it, met Monty Montana and got his autograph, and could "feel" the rodeo.
Did you ever go to a Ranch Rodeo or Big Loop? A completely different type of event. You'll see some Levis there.
