Tobacco Harvest for Bloomberg News












    It's been quite awhile since I have posted anything. I'm going to make an effort to get more posts up             more often!

I recently covered the Tobacco harvest in southern Ohio. I knew the crop was grown in the midwest but I had no idea it was in my home state. I had the pleasure of shooting all day at Baldwin Farms in Manchester, Ohio.

It's really amazing to watch how people harvest tobacco. It's all done by hand! From cutting the crop on the two acre plot to curing it in the barn, all of it involves the rigorous, intense labor of a handful of seasoned professionals. It was something I will never forget and hope to cover again in the future.
