Peanut harvesting Photo

Photographer’s Note

An old photo from my collections.

Mother (on left with traditional hat)with her friends and great granddaughters, was harvesting peanut.

It was a trial planting for us trying to look for alternative produce for sell. Unfortunately, it wasn't successfull or viable enough to be continued.

However, the memories are full of nostalgia.. we tried many type of crops (as suggested by the gov.), and at the end now, we remain planting just paddy on this place.

* shot was done using old fashion yashica.

Hi DA,
You shot a beautiful portrait of this family. I like their shy half smiles and the nice, warm atmosphere of the picture. B&W makes the shot look retro, which gives additional charm to it.
Nicely done!
Saule.

A very nice family group and yes it could be a very old photo the way it has been presented, its an unusual subject too.

Great shot DA! It is appropriately be in black n white. Beautiful family at work. Your storyline resembles a lot with mine...
