This body of work is the result of a commercial project
I shot for the Virginia Apple Board in the spring of 1988 on location at the Byrd & Fredrickson
orchard and other sites. There were some technical problems with some
of the images and a number of images were not used by my client. Those rejected images were retained for my files where
they languished until 2004.
Having done extensive work in graphic design I have some
excellent equipment for this purpose. My digital technology includes film scanners that can handle the
35mm slides and medium-format negatives that I originally used to create these
images.
I am finally able to correct the inherent problems in
these pictures to reveal and share the Zen moments that I experienced that day
in the
boundary lands between the Shenandoah Valley and the Blue Ridge Mountains.
