Hull-O Farms – Durham, NY

For those who know me well, morning photo shoots are really not my cup of tea.  Getting your gear ready the night before, waking up while it’s still dark and leaving the house hoping you remembered everything is all pretty normal.  When the shoot location is only 15 minutes from your house, that’s even better!  However when the start time is 6:30am, you have to really love what you do unless you are a farmer.

Meeting the owner, Farmer Frank, this morning was a pleasure.  For over a decade, HULL-O FARMS Family Farm Vacations in the Northern Catskills of upstate New York has shared our family farm vacation and all-natural, farm-fresh meats and farm-fresh produce with people from around the world who want to understand and experience a part of their history.

While photographing his property, I got the chance to capture this image with my FULJFILM FinePix X100.  We both waited for the sun to arrive while listening to the sounds of morning on a farm.  About an hour after sunrise I was able to capture the hills and valleys he calls home.  ENJOY!
