The Beekeeper Project
A large format photographic essay about bees and the poeple who serve them.
Interested ??
I'm looking for beekeepers who would like to be photographed as part of this project. You will receive a matted photograph from the session as thanks for your participation. I would ask that you sign a model release (no, I'm not trying to make money off of you), so that I may use these images for exhibition purposes and possibly a book project. Contact me at beekeeper@rjphil.com

The title photograph is my Mother's Father working in his apiary in the 1930s. He taught my Father about beekeeping, and Dad taught me. I was away from it for a while, but rejoined the ranks about 5 years ago. I have wanted to do this project as an homage to them and to the many servants of the bees out there who feel that it's not only a good thing to do for the environment, but a fun, fulfilling (and frustrating) thing to do.
