Transcription

Oh, and then I did a series of pictures about the time on the country auction, in the Dutch country. And that was very interesting. Then I concentrated mostly on faces, the Pennsylvania Dutch. You know, this part of the country has a lot of auctions, farm auctions, and in the '60s and early '70s, there was a lot of farm auctions. When they would advertise a farm, it gave you the opportunity to roam around people's farms and see their sheds and see the people who are there, and who owned it. . . . There was so many beautiful farms and so many beautiful people. All the older people, the expressions you would get, and their dress, and the way they reacted to auctions, generally.
