the story behind the photos the last plow boy collection
Introducing...
‘the last plow boy’ collection
‘the last plow boy’ is a series of prints that features an 87 year old farmer and his mustang plow horse. Most of the photos (taken Spring 2006) are candid shots taken as the farmer recounted to the photographer stories of the depression days and farming in Conecuh County, AL.
The remaining photographs are of the farmer-horse plow team tilling under a corn field that did not make (due to drought) in order to prepare the soil for re- planting.
