Photo Friday: Corn! - Photographing a Nebraska StereotypePosted by drfl on October 30th, 2009
Yes, I live in Nebraska. Yes, the agricultural industry generates a large portion of money for the state. Yes, corn grows well here.
Now that I have mentioned that, I will also say that one of my goals when I photograph Nebraska is to I try to capture areas that are not often seen, nor are these areas that would fall into the typical “Farm” or “Ranch” stereotype. Nebraska is a land of diversity and as such I actively seek out interesting and unique landscapes and insights into the state. On more than one occasion someone has requested the “typical Nebraska scene” such as a corn field or farm. Whenever I look through my files I have found only a handful of images. It’s not that images such as those aren’t interesting, I haven’t chosen to focus on anything agricultural. Well, for today’s Photo Friday image I have captured an image of corn, lots of corn. Nice and abstract and it makes me hungry. Enjoy!
