Grain Elevator, Ione, Oregon, 2008
In LensWork #76 (May-June 2008), we published a discussion about the nature of being a photographer working with a subject matter that others have photographed extensively. We happened to have received two portfolios of grain elevators at the same time — a publisher's dilemma. As it happens, I had photographed this grain elevator just a few months before. Grain elevators were everywhere! As it turns out, I like Larry Blackwood's and Cole Thompson's grain elevator photographs just about as well as my own. It's fun to have photographic peers with whom you can relate as fellow travelers.
