- Description
- A colored photograph of showing a pathway covered by orange and brown fall leaves. The path is surrounded by tall deciduous trees on both sides. To the path's right sits a wooden bench, grayed with time and the elements. A few leaves rest on the darkened bench, highlighting the contrast between the bright orange of fall and the black of winter. Behind the bench is a paved road, with a short wooden fence seen further in the background. The entire landscape is grayed with fog. The Place; Deborah Dewit; photograph; 23 x 30 images; Eastern Oregon Correctional Institution Deborah DeWit was born in 1956 in Portland. Oregon. Four weeks after her birth, her mother returned with her to South America to re-join the rest of the family. She grew up traveling with her family and living in such places as the Philippines, New York, Minnesota, South Carolina, Florida, El Salvador, Colorado, Scotland and finally ended up in Portland in 1979. Photography was never a career choice and she entered Cornell University as an Agronomy major. After two years she decided to give her hobby, photography, more serious attention and moved to Colorado where her parents were living at the time. In order to finance her endeavors, she cheffed in restaurants for two years and in her spare time roamed the mountains outside Denver looking and experimenting with her camera. In 1978 she left for Scotland, where she worked on a farm, driving tractors, hoeing turnips and moving cattle from field to field. It was here that her real passion developed.
