I recently did a story on a local organic farmer. It got published on a local website. I would appreciate any feedback.

It was a great experience. I spent one whole day with the farmer and part of another. I really want to do more stories like this.

Also, I didn't plan on writing it because I'm not a super strong writer, but the writer was being a real pain to get a hold of.

My compliments on a story well done. My only suggestion (and that's all it is intended to be) is to get in close to the people as you did with the produce.

Enjoyed the story.

Ciao.

Hey, Ben...

Congratulations! Loved the article and photos. Most people sitting in their living room or office reading it have no idea how hot and sweaty the photography part must have been. Kudos!

BTW, why don't you join with us and some fellow North Carolinians in the Southeast RFF? Got another regional meet coming up in October. Would love to meet up with you!:)
 
Thanks, guys. I appreciate the feedback.

All photos that were posted were with a Leica M6. Everything black and white was with black and white film except for one I converted.

And yes, it was VERY hot and muggy that day, but it was worth it.

I'll try to remember to get closer next time. I still fill like I'm imposing sometimes. I'm sure I'll get used to it.

Also, about the meet-up, I'm currently in New Zealand for a year on working holiday so it will be a while before I can do that.
