How about a Farm?



There is all this talk about the environment. Don't pollute, Don’t cut the forest. Don’t spill toxic waist. Don’t tred on the wetlands. But really, what is happening out there – on the land – on the rivers and streams? Will there be open space or are we doomed to one endless strip mall? What is happening to the farm, the farmer, Fresh food, the ho-down, and the satisfaction of looking over a field you have just tilled.

Well, I thought I’d find out and share it with you; because it will affect all of us.

I am going to wander out into the hills of Litchfield County, Connecticut and tell the story through portraits - - - and words.

Then I will share those portraits in a way that will bring people together so they can see the land and the people, think about the stone walls and how they got there (hard work), and ask themselves, what next.

I thought I would put the photos on a farm, in a field – places where cows hang out and the corn grows. What do you think?





There is something quite natural and yet a little unsetteling about seeing people and the land.
