Upper Valley at Work

Since last October, I have been making portraits of subjects profiled in the series Upper Valley at Work. The project teaches young people there are various ways to make a living and shows them the routes to get there. Click here to learn more about the project run by Center for School Success and the Upper Valley Business and Education Partnership.






From top to bottom are profile subjects Jason Johns, a newspaper photographer at the Valley News, shown in downtown White River Junction, Vt.; Inn at Idlewood owners Alexandre Michel Bird and Marcy Marceau, photographed at their Sharon, Vt., restaurant with their children JAMR, 9, and TOJ, 6; Director Mary Ellen Otis with a few of her charges at the Orange County Parent Child Center in Chelsea, Vt.; Tip Top Pottery owner Amy Robb at her White River Junction, Vt., business; Hypertherm's Ron Aubin, who teaches classes at the company's lab space in Lebanon, N.H.; and Sean Ross, who is the Forestry Operations Manager for The Lyme Timber Company, photographed at Boston Lot Lake in West Lebanon, N.H.

Tunbridge Hill Farm

With mud season well underway, it's nice to look at the photographs I made over the past couple of summers at Tunbridge Hill Farm, an organic farm run by our neighbors Wendy and Jean Palthey. Our family also subscribes to Jean and Wendy's CSA program and we have enjoyed their food immensely.

Their farm is now online, with a Web site I helped put together. Click here to see it in living color.





At top, Wendy Palthey harvests mesclun under the watchful eye of Goldie the dog. The middle photographs show some of the crops grown at Tunbridge Hill Farm. In the bottom photo, worker Noah LePage nibbles on peas while picking them in early July.
