PHOTO SHOOT: Agriculture—Fall Soybean Harvest

Above: Farming and agricultural production in Upstate New York is both vast and varied. Over four consecutive evenings in early November I photographed Steve Straight and his crew harvesting soybean crops with his John Deere Turbo 5620 combine across several fields in the region.

PHOTO SHOOT: DESTINATION: Town of Victor

Above: Mountain bike receiving tuneup at Trailblazers Bike Shop. I took the images in this post for use in a merchant piece that I designed and produced for the Town of Victor, New York. The third printing of the brochure was just delivered to my customer.

PHOTO SHOOT: Greater Rochester International Airport

Above: A jet plane lands on runway 10/28 at the Greater Rochester International Airport (GRIA). On a cold, windy day in early February we climbed the runway’s farthest East approach light tower and harnessed-in. The afternoon couldn’t have turned out better. Every jet and commuter plane was lining-up for this East-West runway. Each time a jet passed overhead the tower shook noticeably above the regular vibration we were experiencing in the face of 30 to 40 MPH sustained winds—challenging photo shoot conditions.
