KANSAS

captured

“When you live in rural Kansas, more often than not, you will end up driving behind a tractor or some kind of farming equipment. Farmers are without a doubt very important for the culture in the Midwest. Without them, we wouldn’t have the food we have on our tables. As a photographer, I aim to capture the world around me and bring everything to life for other people’s enjoyment. I wanted to capture this photo as admiration for those farmers as they spend so much time out in the field growing, harvesting and providing their crops for the community. Being a farmer isn’t just a job but a livelihood for most in the rural areas.” –AMANDA OVERTON, PHOTOGRAPHER
