The Rhythm of Agriculture
Someplace between Banaue and Batad, Philippines
This 4x5 film image, taken with my Wisner 4x5 view camera and Schneider 110mm XL Lens on Fuji Velvia 50 film, offers a unique perspective of the Philippines' agricultural landscape. Perched on a treacherous mountain road, the photo captures a mesmerizing view of both lush terraces and scorched earth awaiting sweet potato planting. The river, winding in a graceful "backwards S" shape, adds a natural rhythm to the scene. The inclusion of the film edges serves as a reminder of the traditional photographic process, echoing the timeless cycle of cultivation in this region. Photo © copyright by Rich Voninski.
