EXHIBITION
"Silage: Process in Process"
WHEN: April 29 to May 15 (Fri thru Sun, 11-6)
OPENING RECEPTION: April 30 from 1 to 4 PM
Also exhibiting will be painter, Karen Pepper, with an exhibition entitled, "The Lei Collection"
PHOTOGRAPHER'S JOURNAL: Perhaps "silage" is a rather unpromising name for an exhibition. Silage is stalks and greens which a farmer ferments in airtight conditions to preserve its nutritional value. Silage provides the necessary, high-energy, diet that will allow his cows to continue giving milk through the winter. It is not especially photogenic, but it reflects a fundamental concept that informs most of my photography and writing: Everything is always in process. Existence is incessant transformation. This is not meant to be especially profound, only that it's there every time I click the shutter, and it will provide an organizing point for the pictures exhibited at the White Silo Farm & Winery, at least one of which will be of a silo.

Congratulations, Ted! I'm so proud of you. :)
I love the different color shades and tones in this photo.
Ginnie - Too bad you won't be at the opening.
Tim - Old wood and old metal are wonderful things. Thanks for visiting.
Wish I could be there... :-(
Trotter - we'll find you a beach on Candlewood Lake.
I grew up in Unadilla NY and worked at the Unadilla Silo when I was a teenager--worked there from 1964 to 1967---seeing this picture brings back good memories--very possible I loaded the wood and other material for this Silo.
Very few left of these.
Thanks for the picture
Richard, thanks for sharing your link to Unadilla Silo Co. There are a number of photographs of this silo on my blog. A search for "Skarf" will turn up one of them. There's a shot from several years aog showing the rotting roof. It hasn't gotten any less rotten.
When I found the patent number stamped on the silo, I searched the web and found the company still going strong and still in Unadilla. An email note got me a copy of the bill of sale for this cluster of silos. They were purchased in 1952.
