I saw this field out of the corner of my eye, driving home with Maria from the train in Albany. Something inside of me was freed when I began taking pictures, and I glanced at the light on the tall grass, the silos of the farm off the road, and the sky behind it. Everything was in place for this landscape, including the 35 mm lens I was carrying on the camera for New York City. I didn’t really need it there, but I was glad I had it here. I put the camera on the Aperture setting and fiddled a bit, closing up the lens to keep the sun from overpowering the photo (f/6.3 1/160).
