A Good Buzz ~ Published in The Iowan Magazine

Last year, I met a beekeeper in Iowa City whose methodology with her work fascinated me. It led me to photograph her story along with another beekeeper in South Amana last summer and fall, and subsequently a story that is featured in the current issue (May/June 2010) of The Iowan. Accompanied by the words of writer Lori Erickson, the beekeeping story allowed me to glimpse a part of the process from producing honey to selling it, and was a great assignment that took me out of my own comfort zone.

The current issue is a tribute to the state’s outdoors, and you can learn more about how to get a copy of this issue here.

This was my third assignment with The Iowan. If you’re a regular reader or a subscriber, you may recall a couple other past stories I’d shot for them – one on labyrinths in early 2009 and another on a monastery in southeast Iowa in 2008.

Thanks, and have a great day!
