About this Item
A vivid, large-format photographic work documenting the intensity and spectacle of rodeo culture, particularly Cheyenne Frontier Days, through the lens of noted photojournalist Marty LaVor. Published by The LaVor Group (Alexandria, Virginia) and printed in Thailand, this volume (ISBN 0-9632680-3-1) presents dynamic, full-color images capturing bull riding, bronc riding, and arena action with an emphasis on motion, risk, and atmosphere. The book reflects LaVor's signature candid style and decades-long career photographing events across the United States and internationally.
This copy is inscribed by the author on the title page: 'For Mark & Laura - You are the best - NO BULL!' and signed 'Marty LaVor,' adding desirable association and collectible appeal. The work also includes a brief biographical section outlining LaVor's career as a freelance photojournalist, his extensive publication history, and prior award-winning photographic projects.
Condition: Very Good+ overall. Clean, bright pages with strong color reproduction throughout; binding sound and square. Minor surface wear to covers consistent with light handling, including faint scuffing and edge wear. No internal markings beyond the author's inscription. A well-preserved copy of a visually striking photographic work.
No explicit statement of later printings; ISBN format and production style suggest a first edition from the 1990s. Publisher imprint (The LaVor Group, Alexandria, VA) and printing details (Printed by The Foundry in Thailand) align with initial issue characteristics.
