#SOUTHBURY
Keeper of his Land (photo by Georgia Sheron)
Images from photographer Georgia Sheron’s project to document the life of a struggling Southbury farmer, John Ludorf, will be exhibited in the Gloria Cachion Gallery and Brown Room in the Southbury Public Library from Friday, July 1, through Thursday, July 28, 2016.
The exhibition will be part of the library’s permanent collection of the photographic essay “Uncle John,” images taken over a 16-year period by Sheron. The black-and-white photographs show the year-round struggle of a rural farmer maintaining his 127-acre farm with very little help. He worked that farm for almost all of his 100 years.
