Asparagus, Aged.
Joyce and John Feenstra are both in their 90's and have been selling asparagus out of their garage since...1954. I got to photograph them in their very last asparagus season on Friday. The muffin tin is where they store the money they've made for the day as customers come in, some as regulars for 20 years. The portrait is supposed to be reminiscent of the American Gothic farmer with a pitchfork next to his wife artwork. I thought it was fun! Needless to say, Chris and I had asparagus for dinner that night.
