DEBIT
Documenting a Disappearing Culture
By Katie Moritz
Photographer and writer
Peter Miller sits at a
table covered with miscellaneous
daily items:
papers, an old recorder, pens,
opened letters, his latest
book, Vanishing Vermonters,
Loss of a Rural Culture, still
encased in its protective plastic.
He faces a small fire and
frequently scrunches up his
face in frustration as he
talks.
“Some people call me a
whiner,” he shrugs. “I don’t
care.”
It might seem that way
when he talks about how
Vermont is changing.
However, it doesn’t take long to realize that
this is because he truly loves the state and the
people, especially the rural folk, that call it
home.
Although Peter Miller was born in New
York City and refers to himself as a flatlander,
he understands something important and
innate about Vermont natives: a vital part of
their culture is the depth behind the ordinariness
of their words. The example he uses is
that a farmer won’t tell you that their land is
beautiful. Instead, he or she may say “you
oughta be up here in the springtime, when the
red maples are coming out because it looks
just like the fall.”
In 1947, when Peter was fourteen or fifteen,
he and his family moved to Vermont. His
father was an alcoholic and there was no
money. Vermont was the cheapest place to
live. And he loved it. He could fish and hunt.
He loved the mountains. There were a lot of
hillside farmers around. He smiles, as he
remembers.
“They didn’t talk down to you, they talked
directly to you. I liked them a lot.”
Now, in what seems like a gift back to those
people and those places, Miller talks directly
back. His latest book, Vanishing Vermonters,
Loss of a Rural Culture, is a collection of
photographs and interviews with rural
Vermonters. In its pages are stories that,
although hopeful, are also truthful: many of
his subjects had to reinvent themselves to
continue living here; many had to adapt to
changes both in their industries and throughout
Vermont’s geography.
Miller starts his book with the story of
Romaine Tenney. According to Miller’s book,
Tenney was born in 1900 on a family farm in
Ascutney, Vermont. He continued the family
tradition, and milked his twenty-five cows by
hand. He did not have electricity. He loved his
farm, his animals, and his community.
In 1964, because his property was in the
way of the new interstate 91, the government
offered to pay him $13,600. When he refused,
they took it through eminent domain.
According to the text, “on Friday, September
11, the sheriff came with a court order and he
and his deputies began moving items from the
horse barn, including the sleigh Romaine
loved to polish. After midnight, Romaine let
out the animals, barricaded the door and set
fire to all the buildings. He climbed into bed
with his lever-action rifle.”
Miller appears, for just a brief moment,
emotional, when he talks about Tenney. He
believes that the story of Romaine Tenney
represents the ending of an era, and in a way,
of Vermont’s rural culture. His book aims to
document what culture remains, and the people
who are continuing it. And photography is
a powerful medium within which to do that.
When Miller composes a photograph, he is
looking for a story.
“I don’t just start taking pics. I don’t have a
camera around my neck and just click click
click.”
Miller will sit in the kitchen or outside and
talk with his subjects first. He likes to see how
a conversation will evolve. And he likes to
observe what is around him. Then he will try
to find a simple situation that relates to his
subjects.
“Find a place that looks decent for a photograph
then take it. Set up the cam, and say, ‘do
you mind if I take a pic? And they say nope.’
So I stands next to cam, and it has a remote,
and I look at them they look at me and they
talk. Otherwise, if they just look at the camera,
like with new digital cameras, they get
bored and their eyes glaze over. Which is terrible.”
One example he uses is a photo he took of
Fred Tuttle. In it, Tuttle is holding a photograph
of his father, who is holding a photograph
of his father. Miller got the idea when
he was sitting at Tuttle’s kitchen table and he
say the photo of Tuttle’s father holding the
photograph on the wall. On his way home,
Miller thought that if he could get Tuttle to
hold that photo, it would make for an interesting
picture, and, with three generations presented,
it did. It worked, because, as Miller
said, “it’s peculiar.”
Miller sighs as he explains, “I’d like to give
my archive to someone in Vermont before I
drop off... but it’s hard to do.”
Make the Season Brighter for Homeless Animals
Central Vermont Humane
Society would like to thank
all of the kind, generous
people who have done so
much to help homeless animals
in 2017. With your
support CVHS saved over
1,000 lost, homeless and
abused animals. CVHS puts
local animals first and 70%
of the animals they take in
each year are from
Vermont.
During this holiday season,
there are so many easy
ways to make the season
brighter for homeless animals.
Join us at the festive
Holiday with the Animals
party on Saturday, December
16 from 10 am - 2 pm at the
CVHS Adoption Center,
1589 Vt Route 14 S, East
Montpelier. There will be
delicious treats to eat, sweet
animals to greet and fun
activities including visiting
with Santa. You can brighten
the holidays for the shelter
animals by bringing donations from the wish
list or monetary support to continue to provide
life-saving medical treatment for these
needy animals.
Holiday Raffle tickets are now on sale, giving
you a chance to win any one of 35 amazing
prizes. All proceeds go directly to help
animals at the shelter. Prizes include a Google
Home, a Keurig Brewer, $100 gasoline and
• • •
pet store gift cards and so
much more. Check out the
full list of prizes and download
tickets at www.centralvermonthumane.org
and
at the CVHS adoption center.
Or you can double your
impact and save twice as
many animals by making a
monetary gift to this year’s
Holiday Fund Drive by Dec.
21. Two generous donors
have joined together to
match, dollar for dollar, the
first $10,000 donated to
CVHS by Dec. 21. Don’t let
this generous matching
donation opportunity pass
you by.
And yet another idea. Are
you still trying to find a
meaningful gift for someone
on your gift list? You can
make a gift to CVHS in
honor of someone special
and CVHS will send them a
card or provide you with an
attractive note that you can
share with them as a gift. You can sponsor a
specific animal who’s awaiting adoption or
make a donation to help all the animals at the
shelter.
Refer to www.centralvermonthumane.org
for more details on these opportunities or call
(802) 476-3811. Help CVHS continue to “go
the extra mile” for all needy animals right
here in our local communities.
