2018 Coors Cowboy Club Ranch Rodeo
I have embedded a playlist for all the videos I published related to the 2018 Coors Cowboy Club Ranch Rodeo held in the ANC facility at the Tri-State Fairgrounds in Amarillo, Texas. I did not record full coverage of the event held on Friday but I did on Saturday.
Most of the events were published in the chronological order in which they were published. A practice I will not repeat in covering future events. I created the playlist for the Amarillo Chronicles channel on YouTube in order to group the videos more conveniently for the two days of rodeo events. You may watch the playlist embedded in this page or you may choose to watch on YouTube.
For Love Of Nature
I have explored the wonders and beauty of the outdoors all my life. I have spent many hours watching animals interacting with each other in their natural habitats and learning about their behavior or just enjoying the sights and sounds which surround me. I enjoy shooting video of nature now and then and now I am sharing these moments with you!
Crazy Horse And Wounded Knee Massacre
William B. Matson and descendants of Crazy Horse, Floyd Clown, Doug War Eagle and Don Red Thunder, have been traveling around the US, Canada, and Europe telling their family stories and revealing the truth of the plight of Native Americans in general. Their visit to Amarillo marked their 105th book signing and storytelling appearance. This series is a part of the CaptiveImage.us Heritage Preservation Project and was recorded and published with the permission of William B. Matson and the Crazy Horse Family. Dusty Reins is holding the book in the photo above.
Spooky Stories
I have always loved stories that give me goosebumps or shivers while reading or listening to them. I think it all began when I started going on scout camping trips to the mountains in New Mexico. Most of those stories were classic tales told in the woods around campfires and were a lot of fun. But there are also personal first-hand stories of ghosts and creepy supernatural happenings that defy logical reasoning.
Heritage Preservation Project
As a contemporary historian and documentarian, I have identified a number of areas where firsthand knowledge, experiences, stories, and events can be preserved with digital video for private or research use. This page outlines some of the areas I have been concentrating on with some video examples. I look forward to getting new opportunities to do more to document our heritage.
