photography from the Chesapeake Bay watershed by Bill Emory
Making it work
We made do in the land between horse and wagon and modern day. Shovels, pitch forks, scoops, whatever the job required. A load of soybeans would mostly roll off, wood shavings required labor. (the artifact on the tree limbs the product of Photoshop 2.0–early days.)
If the unloading was too slow, one option would be tipping the truck.

I stumbled off the track to success in 1968, started chasing shadows that summer. Since then, In addition to farm-laborer and newspaper photographer my occupational incarnations include dishwasher, janitor, retail photo clerk, plumber, HVAC repairman, auto mechanic, CAT scan technologist, computer worker and politico (whatever it takes to buy a camera.) I am on the road to understanding black and white photography.
