I was sorting through some photos, and found this image I took when we lived in Ohio’s Amish country. Our house was built on an Amish farm and set tight against the northwest property lines. So, we were always close to all the farming action.
This enabled me to take photos of the family farming in every season. Here, one of the farmer’s sons guided the team of workhorses pulling a new-style harrow to break up the plowed rows of soil, turning it to prepare for planting.
Out of respect to the family, I tried not to take photos of their faces. They knew I was shooting photos because I gave them copies of photos from around their farm.
