The exhibit will run throughout February and March, 2012, with an opening reception on Saturday, February 4, from 4-7 pm.
The series includes portraits of farmers and scenes from farm life, taken primarily on small farms in the Seacoast area. “I call the series Grounding,” explained Mr. Benford, “because the photographs emphasize the spiritual life of small farms: the inner tranquility that comes from doing real, meaningful work and being directly connected to the earth.”
“I think John’s quiet yet deep appreciation and admiration of his subjects shines in his work,” says Trish Wesley Umbrell, NCOF’s Farm Administrator and gallery manager. “I particularly admire the way he captures so many different qualities of light and subtle, rich colors. “
