Photographs on this site
Many of the photographs
featured on the >University of Maine
Cooperative Extension Web site were taken by
Baltimore, Maryland
photographer Edwin
Remsberg. Remsberg specializes in
location photography for editorial publications, corporate clients, and
advertising. He is best known for his
environmental portraits and projects focused on agriculture, health
care, higher education, and travel.
Beginning in 2002 and continuing through
the present, Remsberg was chosen by the United States Department of
Agriculture to document their programs throughout the country. Through this project he has traveled from Maine to California,
from Alaska to Hawaii to Pohnpei in the Pacific, photographing blueberry
barrens, cotton fields, vineyards, cattle ranches, health and nutrition
classes on native American reservations and in women's prisons, programs
to bring veterinarians to remote rural areas,
and programs to develop a local industry culturing black pearls.
He maintains a USDA website of the image database, which now
numbers more than 5000 photographs, searchable by state name or subject
keyword (www.csrees.umd.edu).
