About the Book
I made these photographs mainly in the fields of the Salinas Valley, exposing the negatives at slow shutter speeds from a moving car. I used panning to emphasize parts of the scene and to blur others, and printed the images using a color palette similar to that available to a pastel artist. The selective blurring and muted colors render the workers anonymous, making the image less a portrayal of a particular time and place and more an archetype for all similar work.
