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.

Kubitz farm, December 4, 2015: While photographing around the barnyard during the last fading minutes of sunset light, a dozen or so cattle who had been eyeing me while eating hay decided to make a run to another feeding station that felt safer. They moved together as a herd; one took off and the others followed.
