Animal Books

Farm Life - Following the acclaimed animal kingdom and good dog, Farm Life 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 animals—some domestic and some exotic—featured: cows and calves, horses, chickens, and chicks, ducks and ducklings, pigs and piglets, sheep and lambs, goats, barn cats, cattle dogs, rabbits, llamas, yaks, and barn owls. Ford’s unmatched ability to capture each animal’s expression not only entertains but also creates a connection between the subject and the reader.
Masterful, refreshing, and full of joy, this heartfelt collection of farm animal portraits gives us a beautiful look at the special breeds at the center of farm life, inviting us to witness the wild still within them.

The Year of the Dogs - Winner, 2020 CommArts Photography Annual.  As a National Geographic photographer, taking pictures of lions, tigers, and bears was a regular day's work for Vincent Musi, but in 2017 he gave himself a new challenge: dogs. Using the same lighting and photographic techniques he uses for his National Geographic photography, Musi spent a year shooting portraits of dogs. From a farting bulldog to a Labrador that likes opera, he chronicled the character and personality of everyday dogs. The result was a wildly successful Instagram account. The Year of the Dogs features over 100 dogs from this series of exquisite photos with close-ups, profiles, and full body shots along with a narrative about each dog. Presented in an elegant package that properly showcases the vitality of Musi's photos, The Year of the Dogs will be the go-to gift book for dog lovers of the holiday season.
