Every place has its own symbol, its own image. At the first Bedlam Farm, it was the big barns behind the house. I loved photographing them and they seemed to be come the image that defined Bedlam Farm. At the new Bedlam Farm, there is a new image, and it is this wonderful tree behind the farmhouse and alongside the barn. Every morning, for about 10 minutes, the sun rises right behind the tree, and casts a beautiful shadow. The light reflects off of the barn as well as onto the snow. This, I think, is becoming the image of this farm, its symbol. Often I catch the dogs heading out to do their work, or Maria heading out with her water bucket. Mostly, the three seems to be the focus. Can’t wait to shoot it in the Spring.
