Over the course of a dozen years, photographer Georgia Sheron took
numerous photographs of her next-door neighbor, "Uncle John"
Ludorf, a farmer who plowed with horses and milked cows by hand
into his late nineties. Her striking prints, accompanied by John's
observations as garnered in a number of interviews, offer an
artful, nuanced, and unsentimental look at a bygone way of life.
"I love the way certain photographs overwhelm with the sheer
immediacy and vastness of the terrain, so that it takes a few
moments to realize there's a tiny person there. In other
photographs, we're persuaded to perceive the way the photographer
does: John's spread fingers are not so very different from the
splayed branches of the towering tree; his veins are only the
living version of the shape he holds." --From the introduction by
Ann Beattie
