I was taking photos of his cows, Murphy was very upfront about which cows were worth photographing. He was interested to see the images when he realized the digital camera I was using allowed us to review each shot. After a very heavy edit of the photos I realized Murphy was very keen to show off his cows however he was very particular about the poses they were in. The shots he chose reminded me of pastoral paintings and photos of award winning cows from agricultural shows. 646 is his favourite cow despite his move towards the Charlois Cross.
