Split, a photo by johnchamilton on Flickr.

From a cache of old images found in a relative’s attic. Back in the old days, when Grandpappy Hamilton Sr. was shooting rodeos, he set up his view camera right inside the arena (he was once a cowboy himself, bringing in the herd in Nebraska, so he was no stranger to the perils of roughstock). When a bull busted loose like this, look out!. Grandpappy broke a lot of glass plates, for sure. Luckily, this one survived.
