Dietrich was raised on his family's dairy farm in the Mohawk Valley and
now lives with his wife, Laurie Ten Eyck ,and son, Wolfgang Gehring
on Indian Ladder Farms’, an apple orchard owned and operated by his
wife's family in Albany County, New York. His rural background has been
inspiration for much of his work as a fine arts photographer.

his home entitled Clear Mountain has been exhibited in several regional
galleries and show spaces including Albany City Hall and the Albany
International Airport Gallery . Other exhibits include, From Grandmother's
Garden, a collection of luminous images of heirloom vegetables, Farm
Animal Faces, a series of engaging portraits of livestock and a large and
diverse collection of sunflower images.

Agriculture has also inspired Dietrich's travel photography resulting in a
study of Jamaican migrant workers at home and abroad that took him on
two tours of rural Jamaica. In addition Dietrich visited post Soviet Russia
with a group of American farmers to document the transition of agriculture
from collective farms to private enterprise. Dietrich has also photographed
in Costa Rica, Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, Bonaire and the Dominican
Republic.

A whimsical collection of images of garden gnomes at work and play in
natural settings was inspired by a request from Workman Publishing for a
wall calendar on the subject. Several of his garden gnome images have been
exhibited in the Czech Republic at the Usti nad Labem in Prague.

Dietrich has focused his lens once again on the Helderberg Escarpment. He
collaborated with New York City photographer John Yang, whose work

Escarpment in John Boyd Thacher Park using large format cameras. John

Yang as since passed away.

images that document the relationship between chefs and farmers.
