Field of Dreams

On a happenstance flight across Western North Carolina many years ago, Garrett Fisher decided to do something unusual and point his camera straight down on some eye-catching agricultural patterns. What resulted was a virtual tapestry from the air and began a multiple year odyssey of photographing patterns and textures found in fields across America. Piloting an extremely simple aircraft that itself was a crop duster in the 1940s and 1950s, the author took a Piper Cub on a wild journey from the Atlantic Coast to the Appalachians, Great Plains, and ranchlands of the Mountain West. Containing 138 images taken from twelve states spread over three time zones, 'Field of Dreams' is a journey in the visually unexpected.
