PUMPKIN
eater!
I am frugal, or cheap, depending on your viewpoint. I tend to love for so many reason, but mainly because the weather is much cooler. And, winter produce is much cheaper. I love root vegetables and squash of all sorts. Maybe I’ll take a trip to the pumpkin farm. Pumpkin isn’t just for pies and pancakes, you know? Try it in beef tangine instead of butternut squash. I’ll miss the fresh greens by Spring time, but that we make them taste all the better. This next call invites you to share a single image or your agricultural influence. Make me proud…
Check out this Call for Entries for Your American Farmer Photo Contest, a FREE online photo competition from Photographer Paul Mobley, the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT), and Hoodman. There is no entry fee and LOTS of great prizes. BUT THE DEADLINE IS FRIDAY…

American Farmer
Photo Contest
Photographer Paul Mobley traveled the country documenting America’s unsung heroes of industry and agriculture in his book: “American Farmer: Portraits of the Heartland”. What began as a break from his commercial photography soon became a journey which led Mobley down a path of self-discovery with a renewal in his passion for making images.
Mobley’s work for American Farmer was recently optioned for presentation as a feature-length documentary. The film goes deep into our nation’s agricultural heartland to tell the personal stories of the indomitable men and women who literally sustain us all. Dubbed “American Farmer” by its producers, the documentary will launch followed by a national PBS broadcast.
Mobley would like you to share your experiences with the country’s beautiful agriculture, farm, farmer’s market and garden world. Capturing your favorite fall harvest scene, summer fruit stand, farmer’s market or road-side stand, share your view this country’s beautiful landscape, agriculture and harvest. Contest is open to both amateur and professional photographers from across the country.
