Kiritin Beyer shares her thoughts and photos from a recent photography project capturing the lives of farmers from the Pyrenees: “I spent my childhood growing up on a farm overlooking the valley of the Pyrenees in the southwest of France… years later I went back to begin my project, taking portraits of the last remaining farmers of the Pyrenees, farmers I grew up with, and many that still live their lives in an antiquated style.”

But you don’t have to be a professional photographer to “get it”, since many of the strips are humorous to a wide spectrum of photographers. In addition to the comic strip, Aaron Johnson (the author and artist), has been putting out a few books. “What the Duck: A W.T. Duck Collection” is the second book released.
