Skull Grateful I may be old but I got to see the Dead live shirt

Gilford introduces the Skull Grateful I may be old but I got to see the Dead live shirt and I love this book with his own meditation on the significance of this inclusive yet insular community: “One of the great powers of the queer rodeo is its ability to disrupt America’s tribal dichotomies that cannot contain who we really are liberal versus conservative, urban versus rural, ‘coastal elite’ versus ‘middle America.’ It’s incredibly rare to find a community that actually embraces both ends of the spectrum.”

Almost all of his subjects look into the Skull Grateful I may be old but I got to see the Dead live shirt and I love this camera and Gilford says there’s a reason for that. “This isn’t the tradition of erotic cowboys, gay photography or paintings of cowboys and fantasy, this is a real community,” he says. “I didn’t want to shy away from that. I wanted the subjects to confront viewers.” While many images showcase the spectacle of the rodeo, Gilford didn’t want to gloss over the dangers of the sport. Bruises, ripped clothing, and the occasional broken bone are commonplace. Many National Anthem images speak to this violence. “Faces tell stories,” Gilford says. “Stories are told through our body language, our scars, and our wrinkles.”
