This morning I spent two hours walking around Los Poblanos’ farm in the South Valley of Albuquerque taking photos. Holy. Fucking. Shit. That farm is awesome. There were chickens. A horse. Two miniature equines. Really, really nice people. A couple dogs. An organic farm. Bees. Garlic. Spinach. A functional ecosystem. I didn’t initially intend to, but I shot 5 rolls of film (50 images with the 6×7). The people there, especially Emily, were really friendly and gracious. I think that this project is off to a good start. I’ll drop the film off for processing tomorrow morning, so may be able to post something by Wednesday.
Something to consider: they have a flock of peahens (I think) that don’t bother the vegetables, they just want to eat the bugs. So they’re a natural pesticide. Round Up isn’t needed. This is better for everyone. Including the peahens (if that’s what they are).
