Bush Corners photoshoot August 2, 2009

Here are some 18 selections from an August 2, 2009 photoshoot taken in the northeastern corner of Jefferson County, Kentucky. When we first arrived in Louisville in 1989, this part of the County was still rural with large dairy farms and others in crops. I began photographing the area in 2001 when it was still in farms but in the last ten years the pressures of a rapidly growing suburbia have overwhelmed the area. What remains I call Bush Corners for some reason. What is now Norton Commons, a high-end housing development, tbat appears on the horizon in a number of the images below was, before 2005, a field of corn or soybeans, and decades before, potatoes or tobacco. It was a beautiful spot in winter with snow on the ground. It won't be long, I'm afraid, before the fields you see in some of the photography in this photoshoot will disappear as well. As always, the images appear below in sequence as they were shot starting from left to right scrolling down the page. 3 2GB cards were filled this day, 120 or so images per card at a resolution of 240 dpi, max for the Nikon D200 used. We were on the site shooting for not more than 2 hours just before noon as clouds were forming and the land began to heat up. We waited, looking for those cloud shadows passing along the slightly rolling landscape of what is now called, alas, Metro Louisville.
