One of my favorite images, “Sheep in Repose,” was taken many years ago in a small Amish graveyard east of Middlefield, Ohio. It’s a bit whimsical not only for the subjects portrayed but for my memory of how I had unwittingly crawled across 100 feet of sheep dung getting in position to take the shot.

Sheep (lambs) have been an auspicious symbol for the arrival of spring, rebirth and the coming of Easter. I had originally entitled it “Trinity” but dropped the biblical allusion.
