Work and Play in the Flower Fields 2

The Flower Fields are an agricultural enterprise that relies heavily on hard, manual labor, and at the same time they are a world class tourist and leisure destination. In this series I am focusing on the visual contrasts that occur when those two worlds come together in a single frame. Carlsbad, CA, 2018.

A fun place for a selfie. The processing on this gives it a nice vintage feel. ~BV~

She seems oblivious to the worker. Excellent capture. V

Wonder if she got any workers in her selfie...I like the perspective here.

She's happy taking the selfie and the worker is oblivious to her presence...a beautifully composed candid shot..V

The difference between the leisure and toiling classes. Surprising how dense the rows of flowers are. V

I find this phenomenon so fascinating: I'd be taking pictures of the flowers, not myself ;-). I do again like the contrast between the SP'er and the laborer.
