I have a few days in New York and Washington DC before I begin my photo/documentary project. For the project I’m staying with various organic farms across the US, all seemingly diverse in their approach to organic and sustainable farming.
My usual encounter with organic doesn’t go far beyond bulking at the slightly higher prices for organic veg at the supermarket while plunging headfirst into tesco value. This is also my first real experience of the US. My previous visit was when I was six and I stayed in New Jersey with my family during our transitional phase from Tokyo to London. All I really remember was the taxi driver gesturing to some far away buildings and said ‘That’s what King Kong climed up’. I think he meant the Empire State Building, but as my dad points out he could have been referring to the 1976 remake starring Jeff Bridges when Kong climbs the Twin Towers. Either way it was a fleeting experience at best…
Hopefully this should all make for an interesting trip, I’ll keep updating…!
