Leach Farm (photo #00238)

Description

" I started to get to know Tim and Dot Leach around 1980. They appeared in two family portraits, once as an expecting couple, once as the parents of a baby son. Tim's farm crew also stood before my view camera several times. When I decided to concentrate on farming, I decided to photograph at Tim's place because I knew very well that his professional goals were driven by commitment to the future of his children – typical, I suspect of farmers everywhere. The desire burned strong to pass on knowledge of the land, of husbandry, of the honor to work. More than the details of farming, which I had earlier recorded with such obsessiveness at Rogers farm, I was interested in this virtually genetic connection to a way of life." (Neil Rappaport)
