Sheep jumping for joy   Save
Joe Munroe Archive
Description: Sheep that have been in a pen for an extended period of time quite literally jump for joy when they are released. Joe Munroe captures the special moment here in this photograph from the Judd McKnight sheep ranch outside of Roswell, New Mexico, 1957. Joe Munroe's career began in 1939 at the Cranbrook Academy of Art. He served in the Air Force during World War II and then joined Cincinnati-based Farm Quarterly magazine. Though raised in Detroit, agriculture became an important subject of Joe's photographs. He moved to California in 1955 and free-lanced, taking magazine assignments and selling his own work.
