Jay’s beautiful “Head of Cabbage” caused “my head” to be flooded with memories of  summers spent as a young boy in the Salinas Valley, with realitives who were all connected in one way or another to the farming industry. Getting up at dark 30 to ride with my cousin Don in his huge semi truck delivering bags of fertilizer to all the farms. And being with my Uncle Clarence, rinding in his  Lincoln as he toured the fields to check on the progress of the crops. They both taught me respect for the earth, and respect for one another, and much more.  As I made this image a couple of weeks ago, I thought of all that these two men had taught me. And all the fun I had year after year. The smell of the fields, the cool damp air gently blowing as the sun was getting ready to set was overwhelming. I formed a lot of dreams in this area of California as a young man, thus “Field of Dreams” was created in their honor.

Thank You Eliot. These images that I have produced for the John Steinbeck Center are very close to my heart. “Field of Dreams” is one of my favorite from the project.

Once again you amaze me. I have seen this shot a thousand times but never this well executed.
