Heckscher Farm | Animal Photography系列是Ty Foster和斯坦福博物馆与自然中心合作的一个项目，内容是对传统畜牧业中传统的畜禽品种进行拍摄。随着时代的演进，传统农庄在减少，而传统农庄里面养殖的传统畜禽数量也在减少，或许有一天，某些品种就会消失。Ty Foster拍下了这些位列优先保护名录的农庄动物们，兰德尔牛，雅格羊，克莱兹代尔，西西里小型驴等等品种。这些动物们是人类的祖先在早期农耕时代所保留下来的活生生的历史。目前这个项目不包括水生养殖动物。一个带有遗传保护和文物保护使命的摄影项目。完整的照片，请移步到这里HERE。

在这个消费过度的时代，很多城市人吃的鸡肉，是从那些站都站不稳，没有见过阳光的黑暗拥挤养鸡场中的出肉率高的新品种身上而来。而北京超市里的散养冷冻土鸡中的公鸡快100元一只，而母鸡近200元一只。这些越来越少并越来越贵的传统养殖畜禽品种，讽刺着这个永远喂不饱的肉食社会。品种与世界其它国家不同的中国，很有必要进行这样的项目。

form the photographer : The livestock portrait series was a collaborative effort with the Stamford Museum & Nature Center. They run the Heckscher Farm that sits on 10 acres of land in Stamford, CT and it is home to farm animals and heritage breed livestock. Heritage breeds are traditional livestock breeds that were raised by our forefathers. These are the breeds of a bygone era, before industrial agriculture became a mainstream practice. Together we captured all of these portraits to raise awareness of the dwindling numbers of these heritage breeds and for the farm itself. Some of these heritage breeds that we photographed are on the The Livestock Conservancy Conservation Priority List ; the Randall Cattle, Jacob Sheep, Clydesdale horse, Miniature Sicilian donkeys and the Scottish Highland.A lot of these breeds are, in a way, living history and helped our forefathers and early settlers cultivate the land. There are some organizations out there such as The Livestock Conservancy (not affiliated with this project) whose sole mission is genetic conservation and the promotion of heritage breeds.Ty Foster‘s portfolio is: www.tyfoster.com.The rest of the gallery is here: Heckscher Farm
