Lost and Found

My dad used to drive this tractor around his own father’s farm in the mid-1950’s. During the Reagan years it was auctioned off as he, along with so many other Minnesota farmers, lost land that had been in the family for generations.

Several months ago, my dad happened upon it again at another auction. That boyhood nostalgia bit him, and he decided to buy it back. He now uses it for odd projects that have nothing to do with farming, but it did my heart good to see that youthful glint in his eye, hauling dirt around his property like he was still a kid on his dad’s dairy farm.

2010 was tough, but a creative gold mine. I took thousands of photographs this past summer and fall! I was scheduled to display my work at Harris Avenue Cafe this month, so I had to narrow it down to my 10 favorites. This was quite the challenge.

After much debate and buying a $5 Home Depot hammer, I nailed my 10 framed choices to their walls. So, if you happen to be up in Bellingham, Washington…and in the Fairhaven area…and if you happen to be hungry, you should visit Harris Avenue Cafe! I personally recommend the Eggs Toulouse with smoked salmon.

Here are the 10 I am displaying. Which is your favorite and why? I ask because, as a photographer, I’m always curious as to what moves people.

You can purchase prints from my website at jolenehanson.com. If you are interested in any of the above photos, which are already framed and matted, visit my website for contact information. I am willing to print, frame, and mat any photo of your choice from my galleries. Canvas prints are also an option (much less expensive if you purchase from me directly than from the website).

I love doing this stuff!

If only I could remember the name of the pumpkin patch where I took this picture!!

The word International always reminds me of my dad, because it reminds me of farm equipment. So, this picture I take for my dad. 🙂 I miss all of you in Minnesota and hope you are having a great Autumn so far.

Camera: Canon 40d
