The Mommies Reviews

I would like to share the press Release for PRCA Photographer Alyn Robert Brereton who started his third Career at 69. Alyn Robert Brereton publishes his first Coffee Table Book Cowboys and Rodes. Once you’ve had the opportunity to read the press release check out our review for this Cowboys and Rodeos here:

Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) photographer Alyn Robert Brereton offers both the beauty and the dirt of the Western way of life in Cowboys and RodeosIn 2018 at age 69, Brereton began a three-year journey to become a fully carded photographer of the PRCA. 

This stunning coffee-table book is a piece of art, showcasing a working ranch in northern California, horses, cattle, tack, boots, buckles, cowgirls, cowboys, and rodeos.

You will also be awed at the rough-stock events—bareback bronc, saddle bronc, and bull riding—and how the cowboys stay on the animals, or not, shown in amazing images. The timed events—steer wrestling, tie-down roping, team roping, barrel racing, and breakaway roping—require precision and finesse from both the riders and the photographer.

This book is a love letter to cowboy and rodeo culture. It is also a testament to the fact that it is never too late to learn new things, take on new challenges, and not only follow but achieve your dreams.
