Working: My father came from Japan in the 1920s because America was the land of opportunity. During World War II we were interned in Utah and had to sacrifice the farm. It has taken thirty years to build up this vegetable farm to seventy acres with eleven men helping me. My son doesn't want to farm—it's hard work with little money. He works in the Blue Chip redemption center. Tri-Valley Area, Northern California, 1975. Bill Owens (American, b. 1938). Gelatin silver print; image: 17.5 x 21.3 cm (6 7/8 x 8 3/8 in.); paper: 20.2 x 25.2 cm (7 15/16 x 9 15/16 in.). The Cleveland Museum of Art, Gift of George Stephanopoulos 2019.286
