Frozen Fury on the Plains Bronc Futurity – Through the Lens of 3H Rodeo – by Wayne Hassinger, Photojournalist – 3H Photography/3H Rodeo
Two weeks ago, I finally got back in the dirt at the Frozen Fury on the Plains Bronc Futurity at the Archer Complex in Cheyenne—and it felt good to be home behind the lens. There’s just something about the smell of arena dirt, the energy of the crowd, and the sound of broncs being loaded in the chutes that flips a switch for me every time. The Frozen Fury on the Plains Bronc Futurity, presented by Pine Bluffs Distilling along with Hell on Wheels Rodeo Company, Visit Cheyenne, and Laramie County Events, had been building momentum for several years, and this year’s event proved exactly why. The stands were full…

Heading into Vegas: 5 Big Storylines for the 2025 NFR — Through the Lens of 3H Rodeo – by Wayne Hassinger, Photojournalist – 3H Photography/3H Rodeo
As we prepare for the energy, excitement, and suspense of what is the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (NFR), I thought I’d share some storylines heading into this year’s Super Bowl of Rodeo. It is important to note at the onset, while I capture a lot of rodeo action through the lens, I am not a “carded” PRCA photographer and thus do not have access to “shoot” the National Finals Rodeo. PRCA photographers must go through a comprehensive process to get their card, and even then, they must be selected to shoot the NFR. While I await news on my recent PRCA application, I continue “shooting” amateur, youth, and pro rodeos…

At 3H Rodeo, we don’t just photograph rodeos—we live and breathe the western lifestyle and capture its essence in pictures…

Laramie’s Higher Ground Fair 2016
A new regional fair to celebrate rural living in the Rocky Mountains is coming to Laramie September 24 and 25. It’s been said there’s no such thing as an original idea, but according to Gayle Woodsum, a long-time community organizer and founder of the fair’s sponsor, Feeding Laramie Valley, mixing great traditional ideas in a new way can result in something better than the original. The Higher Ground Fair is designed to bring together a truly diverse mix of participants and fairgoers as it provides space for valuing the intersection of music, art, food, cultural awareness, traditional family farming and ranching, new agriculture, gardening, health and wellness, social action, animals,…

Bill Sniffin: My Wyoming
MY WYOMING — by Bill Sniffin Smoky times remind of state’s worst fires As I write this, the beautiful view of the Wind River Mountains out of my window is obscured. It is so smoky we are leaving our windows shut because it smells like a brush fire a short distance away. In this case, that brush fire is 1,000 miles away. Northern California and parts of Oregon and Washington are burning up. This smoke is covering up towns all over Wyoming especially in the Big Horn Basin and Wind River Basin. It is hard to find a city or town from Cheyenne to Evanston or Powell to Gillette in…
