For the next two months I will be focusing on completion of the banana cultivars section for this project.  That means I'll be spending nearly all of my time shooting in the banana collection, which is about 5 acres and contains 36 cultivars.  Every morning I drive my 1987 Honda up and down the rows holding a step ladder on the roof with my free hand looking for a central spot to stop.  At that point I unload Two tripods for holding additional flashes, a reflector, and my camera.  From here I work my way up and down the rows by foot.
