Auctioneers Reg Lussier, left center, and Ray LeBlanc, right center, take bids on farm equipment during a farm equipment auction at the Patenaude Farm in East St. Johnsbury, Vermont.

This photo really captured the feel of the auction. I liked the farmers standing around with stoic faces while Reg Lussier and Ray LeBlanc try to work the bids up just a little bit higher. I also liked it because I thought it was a good portrayal of Reg Lussier, who was interviewed for the story, in his element.
