The Pickers

For the past several summers I have been working with Red Tomato documenting farms, and in particular farmworkers, along the East Coast.  It is by far my favorite thing that I get to do all year. Something about being out with the sun on my face and my feet in the dirt just really makes me feel good. Along the way I got to know a lot of the men and women that bring food to our table and have been honored to tell their story.  I'm looking forward to getting back out there again this year!
