The Boonville saga - Part one...
#1, Boonville, NY, 2003 (Study for Boonville project)
About 4 years ago Jason Covert and I went on our annual photo excursion which in turn was the beginning of the Boonville saga... My girlfriend at the time had access to a great house in upstate New York in a small Village named Boonville. We spent 5 or 6 days shooting, exploring and drinking. This time around I did most of the shooting while Jason was kind enough to pose for me. Thankfully he dealt with me and my shooting process, a slow and tedious one.
Cannery Works, A NY non-profit arts organization has really helped me massage the idea, and is helping with the funding and proposal process. I recently shook hands with a private source who says they will cover about half of my total expenses. Huge!!
After about 2 years of research, the project has come a long way since Jason and I were hanging in parking lots at 4 am, trying desperately to get rid of this crazy old lady that kept repeating "you'd like my Rachel". She kept us there for probably 2 or 3 hours.

For the record, she said, "you'd really like my Crystal." Which was quickly followed up by, "you boys want to come on over for breakfast?"
There's a small part of me that still thinks we should have gone.
Right! Crystal, how could I forget.
Of course we should have gone. It was 4 am and some crazy woman wanted to feed us.
