This Calendar Supports Lighthouses!

Lighthouses are generally located in beautiful settings, making them both popular tourist destinations and ideal subjects for photographers. In 2017, The United States Lighthouse Society challenged its members to submit lighthouse photos in the 10 categories listed below.

Photographers

The first-ever U.S. Lighthouse Society calendar features photographs by 14 talented Society photographers — Robert Kausch, Ed Boesiger, John J. Young, James Hill, Mindy Margaritis, Dan Reiss, Elizabeth A. Burns-Hausrath, Lisa Mintz, Dave Waller, Rich Buckner, Sharon Jones, Ken Dinsmore, Bill Hammond, and Vivianne Gifford. The 14 images selected for this 2018 calendar represent a variety of construction types, geographical locations, and artistic perspectives. Each photographer provided a quote about the subject of the photo or his or her experience taking it. Their love of lighthouses is apparent in both their images and the captions they provided. We appreciate both their talent and their enthusiasm for the subject matter!

Honorable mentions go to Kim Fahlen, Bethany Baker, Henry Harding, Michael R. Douglas, John David Bruha, Jim Conklin, Jeff Keefer, and Bruce Wilbur.
