Late season mowing

Andy Lundberg, of Traverse City, and a World War II veteran who retired after 28 years with the United States Navy, uses his riding lawnmower to gather leaves after he rakes them into piles Tuesday, November 29, 2011 in his yard. "It was cold out so I went in to get my mittens," Lundberg said. "The wind doesn't help," Lundberg said, after seeing leaves he'd raked blowing toward his neighbor's house.

This was taken during a portrait assignment recently. Although the photo here is not the type of photo that would run, what appeals to me is the candidness. The assignment was to include this woman and her husband on their farm. While I was outside of their house looking for a location, she said she was going to walk to the cherry trees and see if the "bees were working." As soon as she had established that the bees were indeed working, she turned around and stood in place, which is when I made the picture.
