IN 2008, I ENJOYED PHOTOGRAPHING CHICKENS in local barnyards for a new and very interesting book. I'm thankful to those who allowed me to spend time with their flocks: Karl Hanson and Cloë Milek, Jennifer Hauck and Alex Cherington, Suzanne Long and Tim Sanford, Ralph and Cindy Parsons, Brianne Riley and Matthew Taylor, Rick Schluntz and Carol Steingress, Ray Williams and Liz York, and the Northeast Poultry Congress' organizers and participants. I'm especially grateful for working with farmer/author Jennifer Megyesi, who always helpful with suggestions and was a great collaborator. Thanks to the crew at Skyhorse Publishing, including Ann Treistman, Abigail Gehring and LeAnna Weller Smith, who put all of the pieces together into one special book.
