Ralph R. Doubleday, was an early North Dakota photographer, most known for his rodeo images. Foghorn Clancy, rodeo promoter, agent and historian, called Doubleday the "undisputed World's Champion Rodeo Photographer." Clancy wrote, "Ralph was the first rodeo photographer, and noted in his field because in those days there were not many photographers who would risk camera and film, not to mention life and limb, trying to get action pictures."
