These photos were taken in a slaughterhouse in rural Tennessee over a two year period. They show the hard work of a family owned slaughterhouse competing with industrial based slaughterhouses. I used many different film and camera setups. The two black and white photos are taken on Kodak Tri-X film exposed at 320 with a Yashica Mat EM. All Rights Reserved, Copyright Joshua Harriman 2008.

Shorebirds soar together at a sound or movement unheard or seen by me. They do this quite often as the poke around in the gravelly sand in search of horseshoe crab eggs on Slaughter Beach.
A sharp crystal evening, golden sunlight casting long blue shadows. What a joy to arrive in Lower Slaughter and wander along the river with only the ducks, the jackdaws and a few hardy visitors for company. The jackdaws seem at home in the trees along the River Eye, occasionally descending to hop along the rooftops or to peer at discarded bread crumbs with their grey heads at an angle. Slaughter is thought to be a corruption of slohtre, a marshy place. Many visit Bourton on the water fewer travel an extra mile to see Lower Slaughter it’s smaller, quieter but equally picturesque neighbour.
Stone cottages line the north bank of the river with a small green at their centre, this miniature area of grass is known as The Square and has a Gothic drinking fountain as it’s only adornment.The clear stream water is only visible as it eddies round the piers of the low stone bridges that span it’s broad flow. Follow the canalised river to the upper end of the village and you will find a 19th century brick corn mill with white water crashing over the mill race and 15ft water wheel still turning with the flow. On the opposite bank towards the middle of the village are the Village Hall of 1887 and the National School by Edmund B. Ferrey 1871. Near where the road crosses the river the south bank is dominated by large and luxurious-looking hotel.
The church was rebuilt in 1866-7 by Benjamin Ferrey, the design draws on Early English and Geometrical Decorated styles and though it replaced a picturesque medieval building with a saddle-back tower the Victorian design sits well among the more ancient stone buildings that surround it. Only a Transitional Norman north arcade survives with scalloped capitals and waterholding bases joined by pointed double-chamfered arches. The church has a nave with a north aisle, chancel, south porch and a west tower with broached spire the tip of which was replaced in 1998. Elegant black marble shafts ornament the chancel arch but a similar use of marble in Ferrey’s east window was lost when Hoare and Wheeler provided a new east window and an Italian alabaster reredos depicting the Crucifixion in 1910. Next to the altar a 13th century piscina survives from the older church. The stone font and pulpit are part of Ferrey’s design and there are areas of floor tiling by Godwin. The east window has glass by James Powell and Sons and they provided the attractive design in the north aisle. The west window of the north aisle and the west tower window are by Clayton and Bell 1867. Most of the memorials in the church commemorate the Whitmore family who occupied the neighbouring manor House for more than 300 years. The west tower has six bells, one of c.1450 by Robert Hendley of Gloucester inscribed Santa Anna ORA Pro Nobis St.Anne pray for us. Two are dated 1683 by Edward Neale of Burford and three of 1867 by John Warner and Sons of London.
To the north-east of the churchyard is a 16th century dovecote which is said to have held 1000 birds.

Wouldn’t sell this sheep an insurance policy.
A family I was staying with were slaughtering a few sheep to sell to Ulaanbaatar, and I was kind of surprised how unemotional the experience was for me. They were – obviously – very unsentimental about the whole thing, and even the sheep seemed to accept their fate with a shrug, so I saw no reason to be upset.
The way sheep are slaughtered is you make an incision their chest cavity, which you reach your hand into, squeezing the aorta shut. It is a very efficient way of slaughter, and no part of the animal is lost – everything is eaten.
Life and attitudes in Mongolia are strongly influenced by Buddhism, with its deep respect for all live beings and nature. This, coupled with a harsh life, in a harsh environment where one cannot afford to waste, is one reason why all parts of an animal are put to use after slaughter.

THE MURDER OF THE WHALES COURTESY OF THE ROYAL DANISH NAVY – July 24, 2015
142 Pilot whales were slaughtered last night on the beach at Torshaven, the capital of the Faroe Islands. 1,100 people and over a hundred boats backed up by two Danish Navy warships the TRITON and the KNUT RASMUSSEN.
Earlier in the day more than a hundred Pilot whales were slain in an orgy of slaughter on the island of Vagur.
Sea Shepherd had four people arrested at Vagur, two on the beach by the Faroese police and two arrested at sea by the Danish Navy, Last night another volunteer was arrested at Torshaven and a second had his camera taken and the video deleted.
These people are volunteers driven to action in the face of abject cruelty. They are opposing this atrocity with only two weapons, their cameras and their bodies. They have been abused, their human rights slapped aside and this morning five of them remain locked up in a Faroese jail on charges of wilful compassion. In the Faroes empathy is a crime and kindness is ridiculed.
The Faroese have been celebrating their lethal victory over the whales. With between 200 and 300 corpses lying on the beaches, their bellies ripped open, their guts spilling onto the sand, the waters stained with blood, they appear to be gloriously happy, almost drunk with the thrill of slaughter.
In 2011 not a single whale was slaughtered when Sea Shepherd patrolled the waters of the Faroes. In 2013 when Sea Shepherd was not there, more than 1300 whales were slain. Last year in 2014 when Sea Shepherd returned the kill was 33.
Why is it different this year? Why are so many whales dying this summer?
The answer is the Royal Danish Navy. Despite the fact that killing whales is illegal under European Union regulations, the government of Denmark has thrown their weight behind the killers. Sea Shepherd as a non-governmental organization that practises non-violent intervention is at a complete disadvantage against two Danish warships, their helicopters and their small flotilla of commandos in fast small boats plus the boats and officers belonging to the Faroese police.
In addition the Faroese have passed discriminatory new laws that target any opposition to the killing of whales.
It is a contest between compassion and courage on our side and power and cowardice on their side. The utilization of tens of millions of Euros in military assets is astoundingly shocking.
Denmark has chosen to exercise a policy of overkill to protect the savage interests of their little vicious vassal group of islands where a population of some 50,000 people demand the right to spill the blood of defenceless and innocent sentient beings.
Why would the Danes be so eager to be accomplices with the killers of the Faroes? Why are they so eager to jump into this toxic pool of blood to frolic alongside the savage killers of these gentle creatures. The answer may well be oil. With oil exploration promising possible profits in the future, Denmark seems quite willing to ignore their own laws protecting the welfare of animals and the EU regulations that outlaw the killing of whales.
The Faroese are bragging about their "victory". What I saw yesterday was a mob of blood thirsty killers descending on stressed pods of pilot whales with knives and spears.
This "tradition" utilizes such traditional tools as motorized boats, hydraulic winches, radios, sonars and warships. It is a perversion of a culture where whales once killed for necessity by people in need are now slaughtered for amusement and sport by a people who now enjoy the highest per capita income in Europe thanks to the welfare payments given to them by the European Union.
Convincing the killers of the Faroes to stop whaling may not be possible. It is like trying to reform serial killers. Psychopaths have no remorse, no conscience and no recognition of right from wrong.
We need to focus on those who enable this perversion and that means we have to focus on the nation that provides the warships, the subsidies and the political support for these atrocities.
Denmark and the Danish people have sanctioned this cruelty and this despicable slaughter, and no matter how much they claim this is out of their hands, that it is a Faroese responsibility, the fact remains that between those who attempt to save the lives of the pilot whales and dolphins and the blood being spilled on the beach sits the KNUT RASSMUSSEN and the frigate TRITON, both symbols of Danish power, Danish complicity and Danish involvement.

Biography:
As a photographer, I have the opportunity to interact with a variety of people, to spend time in nature and to continue my work in the underserved community. When photographing people, dignity is my guide while, with landscapes, it is the light and shapes of the natural world that engage my creativity.
In April 2012, I presented FACING FORWARD, an exhibition of the portraits and stories of 28 graduates of the Homeless Prenatal Program. This body of work celebrates the accomplishments of these courageous women. Currently, I am privileged to be photographing people at the end of life (with the Bay Area Jewish Healing Center); taking pictures on my daily excursions to Stow Lake; and photographing food for an upcoming book. Street photography is a new passion; I love getting close to people.
CCSF Photography and You:
Without the opportunities at CCSF, I would not be a photographer today. In 2009, I was working on a graduate degree in Art History at SFSU. One of the graduation requirements was a number of studio art classes. I heard from many students at SFSU that the studio classes at CCSF were exemplary – great teachers and reasonably priced. I started at CCSF with a design and drawing class and found I had some talent and a lot of interest. I then took a beginning photography class and was hooked. I loved the medium. At CCSF, I learned about editing, lighting and, most importantly, to take pride in my work.
I took classes at CCSF from 2009-2012. I enjoyed working with the people in the classroom and found the instructors extremely talented, dedicated to their work and very accessible. I have made a number of life-long friends at CCSF and have a new career as a photographer.

February 16th, 2015 - Bottlenose Capture and Slaughter — at Taiji Japan
Disturbing and sinister scenes this morning saw another swift drive end in the live capture of 5 adult Bottlenose Dolphins, plus the butchering of another 2 adults and 1 defenceless baby.
As this once completely free pod was driven in towards the Taiji Cove, the future of this small close-knit family remained uncertain. Relentless harassment from the circling skiffs and drive boats instilled fear and panic among the adults, as they searched for an escape route to freedom both for themselves, and the helpless baby dolphin clinging to their side. But their tireless efforts to escape were to prove completely futile.
In a truly disgusting display of power and gluttony, dozens of Taiji killers and dolphin trainers laughed and joked with excitement as some herded the pod towards their final taste of freedom, and others tossing used cigarette butts into the water as they waited. They were unable to contain their greedy and excitable expressions as their collective vision of hauling in the next "Cash-Cow Catch" was becoming reality. Five adults Bottlenose were hand picked by the local 'Taiji Whale Museum" trainers, harnessed into slings, then transferred to floating pens within the Taiji Harbour, where they now begin their epic journey of torturous starvation, medicated feeding and belittling hand signals from their new task masters and rulers. For the remaining two adults and the one defenceless juvenile, no time was wasted as they were subjected to the same pain and suffering as the thousands of small cetaceans slain in these waters before them.
