Long story, short version. Near our summer place is one of dozens of Hutterite Colonies in Alberta. See here.
These communal people have large, progressive farms with all of the best farm equipment and modern operations. (Grain, canola, cattle, hogs, chickens. And the very best welding fabrication shops and wood workshops.)
All colonies have a large vegetable garden for their own use and for selling at farmers markets. This summer, Sharon and Stephen (gardeners at the Pincher Creek colony) came to our summer place development every Saturday for about two months. A few weeks ago, I gave Sharon some prints of her and her daughter after asking permission to take their photos. Two weeks ago, she asked if I would take family photos, so we did that today. (They are devout Christians, but after Sunday church they are free to relax and do what they want.)
We had to deal with wind and blotchy lighting. I used a flash on all photos. This is Sharon, Stephen Gabrielle and Cornell.
