IN BARNS AND PASTURES in 2004, I spent time following sheep and their offspring through the seasons to do the photography for Living with Sheep. It was a challenge and pleasure to capture sheep on film as they go through their days.

Thanks to the sheep farmers who were generous with their time and their flocks; Linda and Tuthill Doane, John Lenihan, Barbara and Bob Mathewson, Jennifer Megyesi and Kyle Jones, Sarah Taylor and Matt Dunne, John O'Brien, Steve Wetmore and Marian White. And thanks to butchers Tom Eaton and Clint Hill, shearer Andy Rice and the curious kids who I met at the Tunbridge World's Fair. To Chuck Wooster, for his unwavering enthusiasm and diligence in writing this book. To editor Ann Treistman, for whom I owe many thanks for her ongoing support and thoughtfulness.
