This assignment was perfect for my recent trip home to my fathers new sustainable farm in White, PA. I created a little photo essay of the farm. When I think of what American means to me I think of the farmers and the rural upbringing I was fortunate enough to have and the hard work that goes into feeding and growing food for the people of this country.

Growing up in a white-bread, middle-class, Chicago suburb didn’t necessarily yield any kind of interesting shenanigans. So whatever kind of action I could get my hands on I was a part of. Mostly just skating… but early on it was all about trespassing on construction sites and/or abandon places. My friends and I would ride our bikes to find whatever kind of danger we could get into at these sacred places. The house pictured here would be a prime target.

This is a community of photographers on our annual retreat called Phoot Camp which took place this year in Marfa, Texas. Follow the Phoot Camp blog on Tumblr to see everyone’s work.
So this past week I revived the tradition of the backyard BBQ at my house. There’s a different quality to a BBQ than a dinner … seems there’s more a communal process to the whole affair, from building the fire, comparing BBQing techniques, preparing the food, serving drinks, playing music … everyone seemed to find a role. Gathering around the fire to enjoy full plates of food we had prepared together was one of the warmest experiences I’ve had in a while. The food just tasted better.

I have been fortunate enough to be included in this wonderful project and wanted to share what is happening. For more details read below a statement from Crista Dix and visit Wall Space Gallery to purchase some amazing prints. Thank you.
“Natural disasters happen all the time, like landslides, floods, earthquakes. We live on a planet that isn’t static. Friday, March 11th, we witnessed a natural disaster with a very human toll. The earthquake in Japan was of such magnitude that even the most prepared nation in the world to handle a disaster of this type was overwhelmed. It wasn’t the earthquake alone, which was devastating enough but watching a 30 foot high wall of mud and debris wipe entire communities away was beyond any ability I personally had to comprehend.
I had to do something. Aline Smithson, one of our gallery artists wanted to do something too. Ryan Nabulsi and Jennifer Schwartz joined the effort. Soon I was hearing from every part of our creative community that we wanted to reach out to help the people of Japan. Life Support Japan was created to bring assistance to those in Japan who need it.
We have selected two charities to benefit from the sales of these limited edition prints.
Direct Relief International, for help with medical supplies.
Habitat for Humanity Japan, to help in the rebuilding of communities in and around Sendai and northern Japan.
Artists from around the globe have donated limited editions, over 300 to date, and we will be consistently updating the images available.
Galleries from around the US are banding together for a series of benefits, for these two and other charities to benefit relief efforts in Japan. We will be posting information as it becomes available.
Thank you for your support and for being part of a global community.
Crista Dix + wall space gallery.”
