Insiders, go back in time with us -- 🔒A ‘great butt,’ Roy Rogers, and living, breathing rodeo: Houston photographer Geoff Winningham reflects on Houston Rodeo of 1971- KPRC2 hounews HTX Texas
Photographer Geoff Winningham reflects on his book,"Going Texan: The Days of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo."said his book about the Houston Rodeo in 1971 didn’t make a splash -- in fact, he told KPRC 2 recently, it didn’t really make much of an impact at all.
However, some photographs from that anniversary year of the rodeo have really withstood the passing of time: two women in tight pants, young conjoined twins on display in a carnival attraction, a horse rider carrying the Texas flag down the streets of Houston. Winningham sat down with KPRC 2 to look back at his early career photography and revisit some of the memories he has of the Houston Rodeo in its 45th year -- when country acts like Roy Rogers and Hank Snow took top billing. Much has changed and much has stayed the same about rodeo -- and people -- no matter how long it’s been.
In this, the 90th year of the event, take a journey back in time with Winningham and hear his compelling stories of the great show that was and is the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
