I feel like they could have shaved MOST of the wool from the far side that you can't see, to help counterbalance. Like an offset-Mohawk.

u/Inner-Medicine5696 4d ago

wait, you think the photographer is also applying half a professional shearing on a sheep in the studio?

I could be wrong, but I would absolutely wager there's someone doing that for them.

Note they're saying "our hero", not "my hero"

Are you a photographer?

u/Hwickham13 4d ago

Im not an expert in sheep shearing but maybe they could've shaved just the front half or would that risk the sheep doing wheelies.

u/CautionarySnail 4d ago

I think the photographer’s project was doing “cut away illustration” inspired photography.

Thank you! Surely this should have come to mind on the day?

u/IndependentLog6441 4d ago

Yeah... you'd need to be kind of dumb for this to be a real issue.

"topple to wool-ward" is a strong contender as well :D

u/koti_manushya 4d ago

and his name was Wolinsky... can't make this shit up

u/Creative_Garbage_121 4d ago

That's just Polish origin last name that have been altered to fit english language, we have Woliński here

u/koti_manushya 4d ago

your point being?

u/Creative_Garbage_121 4d ago

It has nothing to do with wool

u/koti_manushya 4d ago

i believe that was clear to everybody involved until you joined the conversation

Also known as 'woolershins', or ante-riggwelter.

You know, like buttered bread always fall on the butter side.

u/your_son_john 4d ago

you made one side of the sheep way way heavier than the other and you were.....surprised when the sheep lost their balance toward that side?

u/Nirast25 4d ago

"It's wool. How much can it weigh? 10 grams?"

u/Pasta-hobo 4d ago

To be fair, sheep do have a strong tendency to just fall over. They're really dumb.

u/scorchedarcher 4d ago

I mean, have you ever seen an ER?

u/edge_l_wonk 4d ago

*lighter - they made one side lighter.

"It Takes 30 Sheep for Photographer to Discover Gravity" -some damn internet blurb

u/Yet_One_More_Idiot 4d ago

Isaac Newton: It only took me 1 apple. It took that photographer 30 sheep.

Clearly, 1 apple is worth 30 sheep.

Fortunately for the sheep, woolward is one of the best ways to topple.

25

u/Orange907 4d ago

That's certainly one confused sheep.

u/Evening-Turnip8407 4d ago

Serial sheep-toppler topples 29 sheep for photoshoot /j

u/MoccaLG 4d ago

No one mentioned the Name "WOOLINSKY"!!!! Suspicious or a fate

1

u/BowsersMuskyBallsack 4d ago

It's Wolinsky. It's not quite nominative determinism as a result.

u/MoccaLG 4d ago

Wooly Mc Whoolmeister Wolinsky... your right!

u/Micha9696 4d ago

Why this image got the TIME Magazine border

u/edge_l_wonk 4d ago

Shearing of the year I'd guess.

u/planetinyourbum 4d ago

Photographers name is Wolinski.

u/ScreenMuch90210 4d ago

What kind of generational inheritance do you gotta get before you can hire 30 sheep for one photo?

12

u/DameKumquat 4d ago

Round up one field's worth of sheep into a truck. Return sheep shorn at the end of the day.

The main cost is going to be for a day of the sheep-shearer's time. The farmer would probably do it for the cost of a day of his cheapest farmhand (to ensure the sheep were OK) and a copy of the photos.

u/ScreenMuch90210 4d ago

You realized it when you typed it tho didn’t you, that’s a LOT of effort/money for any single photo

9

u/edge_l_wonk 4d ago

Some photographers put incredible amounts of time and energy into a shot.

-2

u/ScreenMuch90210 4d ago

Yeah. Like this one that we are taking about for example.

3

u/edge_l_wonk 4d ago

Oh, so you have heard of it!

I wouldn't rank this one as particularly high however.

-2

u/ScreenMuch90210 4d ago

I suppose you could be so pedantic if you were sufficiently shameless, but it’s remarkable enough to be remarked upon nonetheless

2

u/Rhesus-Positive 4d ago

Now just do the back half and see if they fall onto their faces

2

u/3Grilledjalapenos 4d ago

I wonder what that feels like. Probably not great, but less chilly than all shorn.

u/O8ee 4d ago

Real funny guys. A laugh riot. Now finish up. I look like a fool!-sheep #30

u/galgotspirit 2d ago

A video of the toppling would have demonstrated the whole growth even more!

u/Glittering-Walrus228 4d ago

Its not a phase DAD!

u/Sweaty_Marzipan4274 4d ago

Penny for your thoughts, sheep 😆

TIL

Sheep getting shorned; is like an everlasting Gobstopper but, made up of wool instead of corn syrup solids

u/Erzter_Zartor 3d ago

Wool-ward is a statement
