Finding Form in Farming

Posted on October 4, 2011 by | 15 Comments

Last month marked the 49th OSU Farm Science Review, held at the Molly Caren Agricultural Center in London, Ohio.  While grain storage structures, livestock handling equipment and the latest in agricultural technology may not sound like fertile ground when it comes to visual elements, the show yielded many colorful, graphic images.

More than 600 exhibitors displayed their products and services to help farmers improve their on-farm efficiency and profitability. This year’s theme, Where Farmers Go to Dream, emphasized agricultural innovation and helped seed new ideas and long-term vision for the farming industry.

The event attracts more than 140,000 visitors from all over the country and Canada, who spend three days perusing 4,000 product lines, while learning the latest in agricultural research, conservation, nutrition, gardening and landscape development.

    Hi Larry
    I have always enjoyed your work. This must of been a huge farm. Probably not Amish.
    Thx,

    I like the way you make the simple ‘real’… look ‘surreal’. The corn harvestor front grill could be the template for a transformer monster. I look at these shots and imagine them suddently kicking into motion – WILL

    You make the not so exciting farm machinery come to life with vibrant color and movement it never would have had without your wonderful eye and camera expertise…….. Marcia Evans

    Having grown up on a farm, I never took the time to notice the “form” of farming. Those pictures are simply wonderful. Farming really is an art form.
