Shoots<br />

Headin’ upta camp<br />

Over the course of my 20+ year career, I have been to<br />

so many places in the state of Maine, from Portland and<br />

the south coast near my home in Portsmouth, NH, to the<br />

western mountains and the Appalachian Trail, to one of<br />

my all-time favorite places, Acadia National Park. When<br />

I was asked to shoot in the Deboullie Public Reserve Land,<br />

I was surprised that I had never even heard of the place.<br />

And then once I arrived, I was even more surprised. The<br />

ponds, cliffs, mountains, and forest are classic Maine<br />

wilderness, home to bears and moose, great hiking,<br />

hunting, camping, and paddling, and a classic Maine<br />

wilderness lodge (Red River Camps) to use as a base to<br />

explore it all. My work on this project with Thalo Blue<br />

Destination Marketing, and Aroostook County Tourism<br />

received the 2020 Maine Tourism Marketing and<br />

Promotion Award. A video about the collaboration can<br />
