“Joe Duty is an incredible photographer and one of the most creative people with which I’ve worked. He has the innate ability to perfectly capture the emotion associated with a time and place, and he will go to extraordinary lengths to get the perfect shot. His work is jaw-dropping.” Kristen Tribe – Publisher, Wise County Messenger
“Joe Duty shot rodeo photos for the East Oregonian in 2008, 2009 and then again in 2010 for the 100th Pendleton Round-Up. Many of these photos have become iconic, such as the shot of Trevor Brazile roping that graces the cover of our book “A Rodeo to Remember: The Centennial Pendleton Round-Up in Photos.” Joe has the ability to capture not only hardcore rodeo action, but the behind-the-scenes shots that show the heart and soul of a rodeo, and he connects with people with great charm and humor. –Kathryn Brown, Publisher, East Oregonian
