MUCKING ABOUT IN BARNYARDS from 2005 until 2007, I followed pigs through the seasons to make pictures for Living with Pigs. They are thoroughly enjoyable creatures to watch and photograph — pigs have the curiousity of a cat and friendliness of a dog.

I'm very thankful to the following farmers for allowing me to spend time with their porcine pals: Julie Brown, Nancy LaRowe, Suzanne Long and Tim Sanford, Jennifer Megyesi and Kyle Jones and Kate and Erik Reimanis. And to farmer and writer Chuck Wooster, for being very easy to work with on this book. He makes my photographs look better with a manuscript that is accessible and friendly. And to the crew at Lyons Press — Lilly Golden, Ellen Urban and Ann Treistman — for their support through the project.
