From farmland to suburbia
Check out this poignant online documentary on the MediaStorm Web site about two Illinois families -- one that farmed their land for generations before they had to sell it and another that moved into one of the suburban homes built on the old farm.
Photographer Scott Strazzante spent 14 years documenting the two families. The result was this seven minute doc called "Common Ground." Click the box in the middle of the site to watch.
One quote from the doc: "It’s the next step and the next generation. That farmland changes to suburban and you still see the same qualities of life even though it’s no longer a farmland."
Really? What do you think?
