Farm Life : A Collection of Animal Portraits

Farm Animals takes us beyond the barn and into the very heart of America s vibrant farm animals.

This whimsical collection celebrates the spirited charm of these pastoral creatures and invites the viewer on a heartfelt journey of expression, play, and contemplation. There are so many breeds some domestic and some exotic featured: cows, calves, bulls, longhorns, horses, chickens and chicks, ducks and ducklings, pigs and piglets, sheep and lambs, goats, barn cats, cattle dogs, rabbits, llamas, alpacas, yaks, and barn owls.

While other animal portraiture can at times feel repetitive or predictable, every unique image in Ford s book compels you to spend time with it.

The diversity and the emphasis on the animals expressions not only entertains but also creates a deeply emotional experience between the subject and the viewer. Masterful, refreshing, and full of joy, this heartfelt collection of farm animal portraits gives us a beautiful look at those special breeds at the center of farm life; inviting us to witness the wild still within them.
