A New Type of Farming
Cultivating the magic of the edible plant world for your table
Passionate farming advocate Leah Rodgers of Friends of Family Farmers, an organization working to promote and protect socially responsible agriculture in Oregon, transforms her new residential property into a community supported agriculture (CSA) urban farm. CSA’s has become a popular way for consumers to buy local, seasonal food directly from a farmer.

As a maker of photography I feel that people, expression and presentation are all factors to execute an effective portrait. To encapsulate the essence of a person is to connect and engage while giving the individual an opportunity to, within a second of time, express who they are.
The photographs below were made in studio at The Art Institute of Portland during my BFA program. The subjects range from strangers, faculty, friends and other photo students.
