About thirty years ago I met the old lady who lived in this ranch-house -- those were the days when I was using my large 4x5 view camera and she wanted to know why I was photographing "just" a field of wheat.   I tried my best to explain that I was photographing patterns in the wheat field, but she looked at me like I was some sort of a nut...

There were 10 of us on the trip and everybody had a camera of some sort. We were a crazy bunch...dueling cameras. For me it was a really special fun day.
