Ninety-Five: Meeting America’s Farmed Animals in Stories and Photographs

My photographs of farm animals living in sanctuaries are now featured in the new book “Ninety-Five:
Meeting America’s Farmed Animals in Stories and Photographs“. This book can be purchased directly from this web site at a discount price! Read more about this book here.

One of my deepest passions is photographing farm animals living at sanctuaries. I have been a vegan since 1996 and have great concern for the treatment of farm animals. I first started photographing these amazing critters as a visitor to Farm Sanctuary in Watkins Glen in the late nineties. Around the same time I placed an ad for my photography services in an early edition of VegNews. A few months later Farm Sanctuary contacted me looking for a photographer for their first Gala Fundraiser. I agreed to do it and since then have formed a relationship with the organization, photographing their events as well as the animals at their New York and California sanctuaries.

Co-founders of Woodstock Sanctuary Jenny Brown and Doug Abel

While photographing the critters at Farm Sanctuary I had the pleasure of befriending a charismatic woman named Jenny Brown who was there learning to care for the animals so she could one day start her own sanctuary. A couple years later she and her husband Doug Abel founded Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary in Woodstock, NY. SInce then I have visited regularly to photograph the lovable cows, goats, sheep, chickens, pigs, turkeys, cats, dogs and pigeons that inhabit the magical landscape.

I hope to visit and document many more sanctuaries and critters in the future. Please check back often to see the latest additions to my portfolio.
