OVERVIEW Architecture, planning and landscape images emphasize conservation, "exterior rooms." Seacoast coverage emphasizes coastal and river subjects: Inland wetlands, estuaries, coastal barrier islands with lagoons, rivers, deltas, lakes and canyons. Primary emphasis is on aerials, since many wet areas are accessible primarily from above.
CONSERVANCY LANDS The Nature Conservancy and Trust for Public Lands properties throughout New England. Collection includes aerial photos of waterside properties (wetlands, beaches, lagoons, spits and bars, islands and coastal parks). Trust for Public Lands properties include greenways in cities, historic properties threatened with demolition, more. Cape Cod, Nauset beach and barrier bars, Monomoy Island, Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard, coastal Rhode Island, Connecticut, southern New England, Long Island Sound. Peconic Bay, Montauk, Hamptons. Maine: Kennebec River, Merrymeeting Bay, Portland, Casco Bay islands, Acadia, Mount Desert Island, Roque Island, Yarmouth, Brunswick. Massachusetts: Waquoit National Estuarine Reserve, Nantucket, Elizabeth Islands, Connecticut River Valley farming properties, river meanders. Connecticut: New shots of coastal properties and islands, especially the newly popular Thimble Islands, other near-city second-home areas. Beach erosion, beach repair, coastal geology, islands, beaches, sandbars, coastal cities, coastal development. Everglades, marshes, lagoons, waterfowl. Coastal evidence of global warming. All national seashores, estuaries, spits, sandbars, shipping. Storm damage. Aerial photos especially of seacoasts and wetlands, many inaccessible by land.

SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE Architecture, planning and landscape images emphasize land conservation. Land-trust and institutional properties such as universities can be photographed as needed for grant applications and zoning presentations. Solar and passive solar design, residential, commercial, photovoltaic installations.
GARDENING, LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE Campus architecture, architecture, planning and landscape images emphasize conservation, "exterior rooms." Seacoast coverage emphasizes coastal and river subjects: Inland wetlands, estuaries, coastal barrier islands with lagoons, rivers, deltas, lakes and canyons. Primary emphasis is on aerials, since many wet areas are accessible primarily from above. Recent shift by American families away from mega-mansions to more modest homes, upgrading and remodeling projects. We have coverage of additions, remodeling, and deck, porch and other amenities for home landscaping.
RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL, EDUCATIONAL ARCHITECTURE Houses, mostly upscale, with interiors (kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, etc.) and exteriors. Most are property-released. Most are in New England. Schools and libraries, especially in New England, including students and activities. Residential homes, grand and modest, seaside and mountainside, interiors and exteriors, with their natural surroundings. Gazebos, pergolas, trellises, patios, stonewalls, fences, decks, pools, "green design," greenhouses, many styles of buildings, houses and interior design, vernacular architecture.
POLLUTION AND RECYCLING Curitiba, Brazil (noted for its comprehensive approach to a clean environment): Multiple-category recycling, extensive urban transportation, bus transit. Brazil's Pantanal, Amazonia, and Amazon delta, Venezuela lower Orinoco, with examples of careless use of waterways for waste disposal. Plastic packaging snagged on rare cactus in the Andes.
SPECIALTIES Aerial photos of hard-to-reach littoral environments showing geological and ecological features not visible from boat or beach. Waterfowl in their near-coastal environment and wetlands. Beach destruction and replenishment. Atlantic and Gulf storm damage and repair. Most national seashores. Construction on narrow barrier islands. Coastal resort developments on Atlantic and Gulf shores. South American rainforests, coastal areas, rivers and deltas. Architecture/interiors, residential and commercial, educational, planning, "green design," greenhouses, gardens and landscape structures, traditional architecture, decks, patios.
