THOMAS DUCROCQ
Tractors my dad photographed

In 2007, my father photographed sixteen tractors. He is neither a professional photographer, nor a tractor collector, nor an old vehicles nerd. He probably photographed these machines out of nostalgia of the Deutz his father drove to tow heavy loads. He probably photographed them because he likes to remember what he sees. He told me he didn't really remember why.

I found sixteen tractors on my father's computer in a file called "tractors." The photos were well framed, the tractors centered, with a shooting angle of 45 degrees, as if to paint the ideal portrait of them.
