SHEEPISH POSEURS — LA DONAIRA JOURNAL

La Donaira matches tradition and heritage with new technology and 21st century ideas in a quest to find the best and most sustainable way of doing things – from farming and festivals, to simply luxurious tourism, gourmet organics, raising Lusitano horses and rare-breed cattle, wine-making and bee-keeping – and just good living in general.

The project, a kind of life lab, is run by a collaborative team and benefits from a constant flow of guests from around the world, visiting enthusiasts and volunteers, the advice of local farmers and international experts: a kind of philosophical polyculture which seeds bright new ideas for sharing.

Sheep and goats go viral in Kevin Horan's funny and fabulous portrait series, Chattel. A former photojournalist, Horan was struck by the strong and distinct personalities of the animals on neighbouring farms when he moved to a rural community on an island in Washington State. Not all sheep and goats were keen to sit for their portraits, but those who were lured into his studio have become stars worldwide. Horan's since done a series of pigs, and we're hoping for chickens. Meanwhile, we're on the lookout for photogenic sheep with star quality among the flock at La Donaira.
