Someone not Something: Portraits from Catskill Animal Sanctuary
Looking deeply into a sheep's eyes and realizing that someone, not something, is looking back at you can change your life. I hope that these portraits of current and past residents of Catskill Animal Sanctuary help you experience what I have experienced - that in the ways that truly matter, we are all the same. I donate 100% of the profits from sales of this book to Catskill Animal Sanctuary.

About the author
Janet Holmes
2 books1 followerLibrarian Note: There is more than one author by this name in the Goodreads database.
Janet Holmes always loved animals, but for many years she was afraid to get involved with rescuing them because she couldn’t imagine how she would deal with the heartbreak. In 2013, she decided that animals needed her more than she needed to be comfortable, and so she began volunteering with rescue groups as a caregiver and photographer. As she spent more time experiencing animals as individuals through the lens of her camera, she began to question how she could profess to love them, yet continue exploiting them for food, clothing and other materials. She committed to become vegan and use photography to advocate for animal liberation.
Janet completed the International Center of Photography's Continuing Education Track Program in 2015 and now focuses on portraiture of rescued animals. She has been recognized by Photolucida as a Critical Mass Finalist (2017 and 2018), and she has exhibited and won awards for her animal portraits in the USA, Canada and Europe. In 2018, portraits from her ongoing series about rescued chickens won the People's Choice Award as part of United Photo Industries' nine-city touring exhibition The Fence.
Janet works primarily on a non-profit basis, donating her services and a significant percentage of her profits to animal welfare groups.
