In 2006, we drove approximately 18,000 miles while shooting primarily
commissioned conservation photography. At 25mpg, that means we pumped
around 7 tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which as I'm sure you
know, contributes to Global Warming. Working to conserve the environment
while polluting it at the same time seems a little morally challenged to
us, so we have decided to offset our carbon emissions by supporting clean
energy and buying carbon credits through
cooldriver.org.
Buying carbon credits is relatively inexpensive - it cost us less than $100.00 to offset that 18,000 miles of driving. The credits we bought support the wind farms and dairy farm methane projects of Native Energy, a utility owned by Native Americans.

We know many of you love the convenience of licensing your images as
royalty free, so we have begun to offer a portion of our stock collection
as royalty free. We now have a few hundred RF images available at
EcoPhotography.com and we plan to continue to add new images to this
portion of our collection on a regular basis.
Our website now offers you the choice to search for royalty free
images, rights managed images, or both. Just use the check boxes next to
the search field where you type your keywords. |

Our new book Wild Acadia has just hit store shelves in New England

several book signings, including one at L.L. Bean's flagship Freeport,
Maine store on June 16th. For a complete listing of book signings, visit

So far this year, we have completed commissioned photo projects for several clients including The Nature Conservancy, Clean Air - Cool Planet, The Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests, and the Trust for Public Land. This summer, we'll be continuing our work on our Connecticut River book project, as well as chasing down pictures on assignment for clients in places like the Maine Woods and Vermont's Green Mountains. |
