In my first week at The Hutchinson News I had the opportunity to shoot a regular weekly photo page that comes out every Sunday in a special section, Ad Astra. I'm really excited about having this open photo page every Sunday to share with the three other shooters at the Hutchinson News. For a paper to still have a space reserved just for photographic creativity is a far in few between now-a-days.
This week I was told to just go hang out at the Reno County (that's right, I live in Reno County, not as cool of cops though) Landfill and make some images while the sun was setting. I tried to make images that make the reader recognize beauty in something that one would never think of having beauty, a trash dump.
The last load of garbage comes in just under the 5pm deadline when the landfill closes its gates for the day.
I love the sky out here and I am really excited about the summer storms, giant clouds, and rolling wall clouds that I'll hopefully be able to experience while out in the vast, open space.
Thanks for looking,
Brad Vest
