Cones
Simple. I like simple. And it doesn't get simpler than this for harvesting chickens. After spending the better part the day yesterday on the Ayrshire Farm checking out the amazing grass, the herds, the gardens, and much more, my head was filled with tons of new knowledge. I was trying to file all the ideas that came from hours of quality conversation.
Upon entering this room I was drawn to the cones. I appreciated the simplicity by which the chickens were dispatched and I lowered myself to make this shot form about 3 feet off the ground. No lights were on. just the doorway illuminated the wall and metal. I can't figure out how I'll ultimately use this shot. It feels like it belongs with something else. I share it for now on it's own but I might use it again.
As a side note, the past two days have been far more social and educational. Photos have been made but not addressed beyond the camera. I'm hoping to get to more tomorrow. I thought 45 days would be a long time but it's quickly proving to be too fast. Each city, each region I visit is full of local color, local food, local flavor. Each person I meet suggests more for me. This could be a life's work. I am only giving a random sample.
Make pictures.

Very sharp. Love the different tones.
I commented on the street portraiture a while ago - I'd love to share my successes and will do! However, am wondering more about the practicalities, how much to charge? Do they pay up front or on delivery? How to deliver the portrait, by post or email? What do you think works best in the street situ? Thanks in advance. Appreciate it.
Let's see... great photos, interesting stories, interviews with luminaries in the field of sustainability... when is the book coming out, and where can I buy it?
Are those the same kind of cones that were in the Thanksgiving Sara Palin video clip?
