i am very superstitious about certain things. when i started photographing rodeo, i was very fearful of being hurt in the arena.....i've never been hurt and i wear the same pair of khaki pants in every arena....crazy? maybe. lots of sports figures have similiar superstitions. i don't spend any time thinking about that and i know it hasn't made me crazier..it comforts me. i realize that this is a very trivial part of what this thread is about. but it means something to me.
