Bringing it to a Close:
The harvesting season for tobacco is rapidly drawing to an end, although I have little doubt that those working in the fields feel the rapidity as I do. It has been a long, and very hot, summer. For me, there … Continue reading →

A Mosque at the Core of our Constitution:
Much has been made, over the past several days, about the plans to build a mosque near the site of the World Trade Center. The Tea Party is using this as another “Call to Arms”, and key Republicans are using … Continue reading →
A Day Worth Waiting For:
Since beginning the harvesting portion of this documentary project, I have been presented, continually, with the challenge of lighting. The high sun of a clear sky, to be exact. To make matters even more frustrating – photographically speaking, the sun, … Continue reading →
Harvesting – Day Two:
7.29.2010: I realized today, as I was relaying the events of my morning in the firing barn to Terri Jordan – the Curator at the Customs House Museum where An American Tradition will premiere in November, that I have yet … Continue reading →

Before embarking on the Farmerie family reunion I had all intentions – and motivations, to post regularly and… to create a series of portraits – informal, but telling, in a way of documentation. This endeavor began rather well but, as … Continue reading →
Glacier Martinis and Salmon:
I decided to lead off this post with a photograph of the well-touted glacier martini. Yesterday was a day of no structure. I began the portrait process – quite informally. Stephnie, as well as several others, went off to the … Continue reading →
Reunion Day 1 1/2:
Reunion day 1 1/2 Yesterday was spent driving, having left Nashville at 5:15 a.m. and arriving in Muskego, Wisconsin, at 7:40 p.m. Construction along I-65 N was horrific, and the numerous delays along I-90 and I-94 were the true measure … Continue reading →
