Depth of Field
another digital view of strawberry harvesting
Harvest Depth - digital painting / art prints - Dan Beck 2006
I don’t know if it’s as much about trying to get it right or trying new angles at the same thing. This year, there are more strawberry fields around my house since I moved here about 6 1/2 years ago.
I am struck by different views of essentially the same thing each day. In the above piece, the orange flags which I understand to mean the field has been sprayed, caught my gaze.
The berries require being harvested every 2 days or so depending upon the weather and they did spray in between - but the flags winding their way back to the second crew intrigued me.
It also intrigued me that once again - the crews appeared to be lined up and bent over like a team - which they are - but when the flat is full the picker boogies - I suspect piece work incentives and a little bit of everyone for himself.
