EcoPhotography's images help protect Katahdin Lake.
On December 15th, the Trust for Public Land completed raising more than $14 million dollars to complete the acquisition of 6000 acres around Maine's Katahdin Lake. The lake and surrounding forest were then given to the State of Maine and integrated into Baxter State Park, one of the premier wilderness parks in the eastern United States. We had the good fortune to make two trips to Katahdin Lake on behalf of the Trust for Public Land in July, 2005, and again last October. Our photographs became the primary imagery used in the publicity campaign that raised funds to protect Katahdin Lake. We are very grateful that the project has been successfully completed and that we could play a part in it, as this was perhaps the wildest and most beautiful piece of unprotected wilderness we have ever visited in New England. |

EcoPhotography's Mount Washington Image Proves Popular at the Post
Office.
Who's "The King"? Elvis, of course, whose image graced the
best-selling stamp in the United States last year. Right on his heels
in the #2 spot, however, was a sheet of 40 stamps called "Wonders of
America." We were thrilled to be part of this, having provided the
image of New Hampshire's Mount Washington that was used for the
"Windiest Place" stamp in that best-selling collection.
Mount Washington is infamous for being the windiest place in the world: in 1938, instruments recorded a wind gust of 231 mph on the summit! Every year, we field dozens of stock requests for images of Mount Washington and the surrounding White Mountains, so we have put together a lightbox featuring the best of our Mount Washington collection. (sorry, no pictures of Elvis,though...we were only eleven and nine years old when he died...) |

Register now for your chance to win.
Several hundred of you registered on our website during our 2006
"Register and win an iPod" promotion. The final winner was Karen
Taggart of Adams Hussey and Associates in DC. Congratulations Karen!
For 2007, we've decided to streamline our web registration process: it will no longer be necessary for new visitors to register in order to search for images on our site. However, registered users will still have special privileges such as the ability to build lightboxes and download comps. And, we'll still be giving away free stuff to new registrants. (Hey, we'll even double your odds of winning... e-mail us with a request for a custom-researched lightbox and we'll enter your name TWICE into our new drawing for signed copies of our cofee table book, "White Mountain Wilderness.") |
