From the Farmer’s Perspective:
At JBG, we are very lucky to have photographer Scott David Gordon as part of our crew. I would like to thank him for his hard work and consistency (I think he took pictures all 52 weeks of this year!) and for the high-quality of his images. Earlier this week, I reviewed his photos and put together a month-by-month retrospective for 2011. I hope you enjoy looking at these pictures as much as I did! Thanks again to everyone in the JBG community for making this year such a good one for the farm – I look forward to sharing 2012 with you.
