Assignment: Oldest School

Description: When people find out I’m a photographer, they ask how I got in to it. And why I got in to it. Somewhere in the conversation, I think about the very first photograph I ever took. It might not be the EXACT photo, but it’s the one that comes to mind as the first. This month, recreate that photo. Or use it as inspiration. Bonus points if you can provide the actual photograph.

Originally I had thought of (and shot) a more conceptual image, but when looking through its surrounding photos, felt like these, for better or worse, better reflected the assignment. Manifest Destiny.

Tristan and Little Kitty on the porch, White PA

Logan in her room, White PA

Feeding the chickens, White PA

Chickens and Eggs, White PA

Breakfast with farm fresh eggs, White, PA

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.
