Cross Species Portraiture: The Chicken was a Star

Because the flash slideshow seems to be messing up the browser for some of you, I am moving flash show further down in this post. This way, if you want to see many more of these portraits, make the jump to the main article, knowing that your browser may not handle the flash slideshow gracefully.
I just wanted to share a few shots that I took the last couple of days at the Dole & Bailey North East Family Farms roadshow up in Quechee, Vermont. These will be the first of a larger project that documents, in my own certain way, “family” portraits of farmers (or producers), chefs, and animals.
The chicken seen here was fantastically patient with all of us and was handled with the greatest of respect. His general demeanor of dignity really set the tone for that.
The slide show may grow in size over the span of today and the future as I add more to that flickr set.
Let me know what you think!

[...] Some time ago I had the great fortune to meet Dan Estridge on the web and then at a Dole & Bailey event up in New Hampshire (see my blog post from that event: Cross Species Portraiture: The Chicken was a Star). [...]

I like the chef holding the chicken… kind of a ‘before’ shot!
LOL, indeed!
Thinking about it more, I want to see another shot with him, holding a roasted chicken.
goodness! Alas, there were no roasted chickens on hand. Lots of other delicious food though! (which I will blog about once I get all these shots processed).
Great idea!
Nika, I think it’s a wonderful series. Though I can’t believe it’s the same chicken in each shot–such a patient creature!
This is a fun project Nika. love it.
Lisa: indeed, that chicken was like in a zen state I think
Bea: thanks ma’am! its been a lot of fun.
