A big thank you to
Mark Turner,
who has loaned the Chamber his award-winning photograph,
Forest Primeval.
This was made at the Stimpson Family Nature Reserve near Lake Whatcom on a misty early summer day in 2006, part of a project to photograph properties preserved for the public by the
Whatcom Land Trust.
The photo earned Mark a
Merit in Professional Photographers of America
print competition as one of his first on his journey to become a P.P.A. Master Photographer.
Please drop by the Chamber office to see this beautiful canvas in person!
