Tobacco harvest Hadley MA
This is Peter Jekanowski harvesting tobacco yesterday at his farm in Hadley MA. It is bound for the Dominican Republic. I am bound for Medellin Colombia with Max from Gonomad tomorrow. I travel allot but this is a stretch to go from the Ice cap in Greenland to South America in one weeks time. It has been over twenty years since I have been in Colombia. I lived for awhile off the Pacific coast near the boarder of Ecuador on a stretch of beach called Playa Mulatto’s. We will try to post while we are there.

Dear Paul,
I just stumbled across the above photo on the internet (Tobacco Harvest in Hadley MA). It is my father spearing tobacco. He passed away in 2009.
It is a beautiful photo. I can almost hear the tobacco going onto the lath, smell the dust and feel the heat of that mid-August day. It was five years ago, but seems like last summer. Brings back great memories.
Is there any way I could get a copy? I will pay if it is for sale. Please let me know. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Mark Jekanowski
