The picture is beautiful, but fields going to waste always make me sad. Once an old lady in my town took me up to see her old family land, it looked pretty much like this (only with hills. This is New England I'm talking about). Someone had forgotten to hay it for years. She just shook her head and said "it's the same as burning money."
This field is not going to waste, it is a pasture -- the cows were left out of the image on purpose. This image in Bosque County is about 30-35 miles north of Bush's ranger in central Texas. 99% of the land around there has cattle grazing year round.
I have been photographing for more than 50 years first working as supervisor for yearbook and college newspaper. Later I headed the photography department for the News Service at UTAustin. In 1979, I became a Dobie-Paisano Fellow and began to follow a career in freelance and doing my own personal work. My wife's career pulled us out of Texas for the east coast finally winding up in central Massachusetts. Now in my 79th year, I teach both digital and wet darkroom at a small liberal arts university in Worcester, MA.
I shoot these cameras and formats:
----Note: --
I have given up on film. I now have only digital cameras -- the Canon 6D, and a Pentax 645D medium format digital.
