Canadian Geographic acquires insect photographs

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

Canadian Geographic licensed three images published in the March/April 2007 issue and were used in the overall design b art director Suzanne Morin. The photographs assisted in illustrating the concept of genetic barcoding and th building of a data base called the Barcode o Life Data System. This data base will be used to archive and map the genetic DNA of all species on earth and assist in classifying biodiversity. This will also determine where a particular species “fits” within the genealogical tree of life.

Welcome to Entomology-Photography.com — this is just the beginning!

Prints In Living Room Setting

Every morning I am pleasantly greeted with Eurytides protesilaus nigricornis reproduced as a 30 x 40 inch Exhibition print hanging in our sun room. after all this time, I still enjoy looking at this beautiful specimen and the photographic print. I never seem to tire of it’s composition and how the content reminds me of our connection with the natural world. For a photographer to still find pleasure in their work over such a long time — this speaks volumes!

I think these depictions of how the framed prints look in my home help demonstarte how the scale of the print becomes quite impressive in a room. Please visit often, as I’ll be adding more and more examples of Entomology Photography.
