About Jerry LongSince 2015 Jerry Long has been traveling the United States while working in the rodeo arena. He has worked as a producer/cameraperson for the Professional Bull Riders on both the "up and comers" Velocity Tour and the "Premiere" Unleash the Beast Tour. Those shows show up on the PBR App "RidePass" and CBS Sports Network and CBS Network channels.
All that work takes place on the weekends, so during the weekdays he travels like a high plains drifter, looking for beautiful vistas and undiscovered, backroads scenery. These photographs have turned into a calendar for the last 3 years, which is now offered for sale to the public on this website. Since starting in 1980 in television his career has taken him many places with many more places to visit in the future. Thanks for following along and enjoying the view. |
