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).
