John Stryker Black and White Photography
1883-1974
John Stryker was born in Rockford, Illinois, on September 1, 1883. He is most remembered for the body of photographs he took of "the Olympics of Western sports" — the rodeo. During his lifetime, Stryker crossed America, working rodeos as an announcer, a producer, promoter and, sometimes, a rider. He invented the chute that the animals come out of, and he developed new ways of photographing action during an event.
Dramatic shots were taken from the ground by propping his camera on the toe of his right boot — right next to a bucking bronco.
Some historians believe that John Stryker was directly responsible for the growth and sophistication of the sport.
His negatives are in the collection of the University of Texas at Permian Basin, Odessa. His photographs were exhibited during his lifetime at the Buffalo Bill Museum in Cody, Wyoming, and the Amon Carter Museum of American Art in Fort Worth, Texas. His photographs have been published widely, including in Life, Look, The Cattleman, The Western Horseman and The American Quarter Horse Journal. In 1977, The Rodeo of John Addison Stryker was published by Encino Press in Austin, featuring many of his famous images, with an introduction written by Ron Tyler, former director of the Amon Carter Museum of American Art.

Bert Hardy
Bert Hardy
Albert William Thomas Hardy (19 May 1913 – 3 July 1995) was an English documentary and press photographer known for his work published in the Picture Post magazine between 1941 and 1957.
Life and work
Born in Blackfriars, Bert Hardy rose from humble working class origins in Southwark, London. The eldest of seven children, he left school at age 14 to work for a chemist who also processed photos. His first big sale came in 1936 when he photographed King George V and Queen Mary in a passing carriage during the Silver Jubilee celebrations, and sold 200 small prints of his best view of the King. His first assignment, at age 23, was to photograph Hungarian actor Sakall at the Mayfair Hotel. Hardy freelanced for The Bicycle magazine, and bought his first small-format 35 mm Leica. He signed on with the General Photographic Agency as a Leica photographer, later founding his own freelance firm, Criterion.
General Photographic Agency
General Photographic Agency a Fleet Street, London agency, sold photos at least between 1880-1950.
Picture Post and World War II
In 1941, Hardy was recruited by the then editor Tom Hopkinson of the leading picture publication of the 1930s to the 1950s, Picture Post. Founded in 1938 and funded by publisher Edward Hulton, the magazine's first editor was Hungarian émigré Stefan Lorant (1901–97) assisted by Hopkinson, who took over as editor from 1940. The picture-centric, left-leaning and reasonably-priced publication was highly successful and circulation soon rose to over a million. Hardy's photographer colleagues included Felix H.
