Behind the Shutter: Abe and the Tourists

This is WI (well, part of it anyway)
I shot these photos in central WI, in an area that has a high concentration of organic-certified and/or sustainable-farming minded farmers. I went there for a self-project and met some really nice people living by their values. It was wonderful.
