My Best Shot

It was 1988 and Richard Stevens of Santa Maria had a lot on his mind. He had been in Sandpoint, Ida., visiting his daughter who had been ill. One day, needing a break, he hopped in the car and headed south into Washington state in search of a scene that had been captured years before by a fellow camera club member: the rolling hills of the Palouse wheat country. He found this farm. “I keep going back,” says the retired adman, “but I’ve never been able to duplicate this picture that I got on the first try.”
