Grain Elevator, Ione, Oregon, 2008

The New 100 Prints Project by Brooks Jensen New image added on 16 Feb 2009 For a quick view via RSS, here are the essentials, but the project is best seen at the website. In LensWork #76 (May-June 2008), we published a discussion about the nature of being a photographer working with a subject matter that others have photographed extensively. We happened to have received two portfolios of grain elevators at the same time — a publisher's dilemma. As it happens, I had photographed this grain elevator just a few months before. Grain elevators were everywhere! As it turns out, I like Larry Blackwood's and Cole Thompson's grain elevator photographs just about as well as my own. It's fun to have photographic peers with whom you can relate as fellow travelers.Audio Commentary Grain Elevator, Ione, Oregon, 2008
