Working Land refers to two facets of rural landscape: the idea of working the land as a vocation and as a description of productive ground. My family tree includes immigrant ancestors who made a living from working the soil and some of their descendants who carry on this work to the present day. That personal connection to working land inspired the project.

Rocky's Bait, June 4, 2015: Kathy asked if I wanted to photograph their largest minnow delivery truck, then had Rocky back it out of its garage onto the gravel area between buildings. I decided to make a rather formal, business-like portrait of the long-bed truck, customized for the bait business with water tanks and oxygen system to keep the minnows alive.
