When I was 7 years old, I had the lucky opportunity to travel to Mount Rushmore with my grandparents. Air Force jet during refueling runs.

Before we left on our journey, my grandmothers gave me a camera.

“Take some photos when you are there!”

As is typical at tourist attractions, everyone stood at the edge of the guardrail, carefully focusing and framing the scene of the Mount Rushmore National Memorial that lay before them in their camera’s viewfinders. Although I was only 7, I distinctly remember thinking I want to photograph som

ething different. Being the adventurous kid that I was, I climbed up on the guardrail and took a photo of the reflection of the memorial in the gift shop window. When we returned home from the trip and everyone’s film had been developed, it was obvious my image was different from everyone else’s. I’ve been passionate about capturing the unique view ever since. Photojournalism has given me some great experiences in life. I have documented humanitarian efforts to build a school in Honduras and have been able to show readers an insider’s view of a U.S. I have photographed people from all walks of life including U2’s Bono and Paul McCartney, a U.S. president and even a man who built a museum honoring Hitler. And, of course, I have also focused my camera on my family and the events that have unfolded in their lives. As a photojournalist, I cover sports, features, spot news and illustrations. The subject matter changes daily but my goal doesn’t: to find a way to show the story in a unique way that inspires the readers.

Today, I opted to maintain the same theme, contrasting the steering wheel with the clouds, albeit in color and from a slightly different angle.

Today's tractor photo was guided by a specific vision. While I often enjoy the freedom of improvisation, I also recognize the importance of a thoughtful creative strategy. My objective was to craft a captivating black and white image, highlighting the tractor, clouds, and sky. The inclusion of the steering wheel was vital, provided it didn't encroach upon the sky.

If you have been following my daily photography of the tractor, you may have noticed that the exhaust stack has been crooked. Upon approaching the tractor today, I observed that the exhaust stack had finally detached. Before reattaching it, I took the opportunity to peer into the hole and capture a photo. The visible section of the fan and the coloring caught my attention, prompting me to take the photo.

On a rainy day, I sought to photograph raindrops on the tractor. As I tried to avoid getting wet, I snapped this picture, which was one of my first attempts. Capturing a photo with a raindrop was difficult, and none of my other photos turned out well. Fortunately, this initial photo was successful.

This is a section of the flywheel, a testament to the power of perseverance. I recall many instances of manually starting the tractor by spinning the flywheel, learning valuable lessons in resilience. My grandfather would wisely advise me, “the minute it takes off, get out of the way”.

Capturing a photograph with the water tower in the background has been a goal of mine, and this image successfully incorporates the water tower, visible through the tractor's steering wheel, a concept I will revisit in the future.

On another rainy day, I am uncertain about the specific part depicted, but the presence of a falling raindrop rendered it a potential photographic subject.

The photograph displays a tongue protruding from underneath the tractor, adjacent to the recess that would have secured the hitch pin I located a couple of days ago. Although the tongue seems disconnected, it is, in fact, attached to the tractor, and the unusual camera angle creates a deceptive impression.

Although my initial search focused on finding a St. Patrick's Day-themed tractor image, the green hue of the tractor ultimately proved sufficient for the occasion.

I prematurely assumed the end of snow and ice, and I was mistaken. Consequently, I obtained another ice formation emanating from the tractor. I appreciate the smooth, glassy, and distorted foregroundjuxtaposed with the more sharp and focused opposite background.

In light of the significant wind advisories from last night and today, I questioned whether the tractor's crooked exhaust stack could function as an improvised weather vane, signaling wind direction. It didn’t.

Today I was inspired by the shadow that crossed the fuel gauge. The shadow was from the steering wheel and the fuel gauge was in the middle of the shadow and the sunlight.

My original plan was to feature a different photograph today, but I changed my mind and chose a black and white image. The backdrop of the setting sun helped create a striking silhouette of the tractor.

Upon examining the tractor today, I discovered a hitch pin positioned under the seat at the base, likely left by my grandfather following the detachment of a wagon or other farm implement, and it has remained in this location ever since.
