We had a lot of fun in the cold this weekend at David Berry Coached Practice and my photo school. As long as you could find a place without the wind it wasn't too bad. But that cold Oklahoma wind would cut right through you. But photographers and bull riders and instructors all toughed it out along side many parents. It was good meeting alot of you this weekend and look forward to having more schools together. As always please do not screen shot any photo. Thank you.

Well here is the post I have had the hardest time writing. It is a long one and I am sorry for that. I am doing the one thing that is the hardest for me to do but I am at the point I don't have any other choice except to just ask or get comfortable waiting the next 10 years.
As most of you know back in March of theis year I went to the hospital and was told my kidney had quit working. I went on dialysis immediately and have been on it ever since. I am now able to do it at home, but its every day and takes 8.5 hours to complete.

So, I am asking all my friends, family and followers on FB to please get tested to be a living donor for a kidney for me. I have had a few that have signed up but the transplant center has disqualified those who have signed up for health reasons.

That leaves me on the transplant list as my only option. That option says that since I am a blood type O, I have an unusually long wait for a kidney. As a type O, I can only receive from another person with the same blood type. That means it will take an average of 6-10 years for one to become available on the transplant list. And until one does become available, I am not allowed to travel more then 2 hours away from Dallas (That's where the transplant would currently be done at and when I get the call form the list, they could call at anytime and if I can not get to the hospital in the 2 hours, i will be skipped over). Right now we are blessed to have family that has a spare house for us to live in Grand Prairie, TX as the house we are trying to get finished and moved into is just outside the 2 hour radius of the hospital, so even when we get it finished, we can not move into it.

I know this is a huge ask and I am not asking this lightly At the same time I am only asking if you are willing to do it. If not, I fully understand as this is a huge thing to ask for. For me though, it is the difference between a full life and a life that is tied to a machine with a 10 foot cord.

Please I ask if you are willing to do this for me, please scan the QR code in the photo and you can sign up to be a donor. You don't have to do it for just anyone if you don't want to. You can specify it is for Robert Rosales. Also there is an option that even if you are not a match (Type O) you can offer your kidney up for a trade with someone else who is looking for a kidney but they do not a have a blood match and we could trade donated kidneys.

I thank everyone from the bottom of my heart. May God Bless you all!!!!!

Our hats off to the folks at Cowtown Coliseum for being able to think quickly and transform a rodeo into an all bull riding event. It was a great way to spend a Friday night in Ft. Worth. All photos from the event are now on my website for you to enjoy and order from. Please respect my copyright. Thank you.

I would like to introduce myself to everyone that does not already know me. I am a former professional bull rider and retired in 2003. I began my photography career shortly after the loss of my mom in 2017. She left me her camera and although she was into shooting structures in large cities, I preferred a more country setting. So I began shooting mountains and rivers as well as wildlife. Even though I was enjoying getting away from “town” and into the wonders God had created for us, I was just not happy with what I was shooting. After all, instead of enjoying the wonders with my eyes, I was always looking at it through the lens of a camera. That’s no way to enjoy nature.

So I moved the camera into a world that has always been close to my heart. Some place I am comfortable at, a place I am surrounded by family (and yes it is a very large family), a place where there is always action, adventure, and a great group of people to just hang out with. A place that is always home, no matter what town or state it happens to be in. And above all a place where memories are made every second and I have the ability to capture those memories and that history as it is unfolding live right before everyone’s eyes. That place is a rodeo arena. From the smallest backyard practice pens, to rodeo finals. A moment in time most will never be able to relive as they were the ones in the middle of all the action.

Don’t get me wrong, just because I was a contestant didn’t immediately give me a hand up with a camera - it just made me more comfortable at an arena. I have attended Terri Abrahamsen’s Rodeo photography school more than once. She is a PRCA photographer and has been one for over 30 years. I am blessed she has stepped out to show the next generation of rodeo photographers what she has learned over her career. And with her being my mentor, I went from never photographing a full rodeo to being asked to be the Official Rodeo Photographer of the 2019 New Mexico Rodeo Association Finals in 4 months. I know this would never have been possible with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, opening the doors he has opened.

So what is next for me? Well I have a couple of events left in 2019 and I am now booking rodeos for the 2020 Rodeo Season as well as working towards getting my PRCA card as well. Feel free to look throughout my page and click on the links to take you to my website where all of my photos are for sale. Just click on the ones you like and I will get them printed and mailed to you, and as an added bonus I do not charge for shipping.
