An image by this Maryland photographer graces a new postage stamp
And so it has been, home as it is to largemouth bass, snakeheads, catfish and the occasional striped bass. But Turcik’s biggest catch at Mallows Bay may be the photo he took there in 2016. Last week it was released on a postage stamp, one ofThe photos on the other stamps show things like coral reefs, rocky shorelines, fish, otters and seabirds. Turcik’s photo is different because Mallows Bay is different. On his, the skeletal ribs of a derelict ship stick up from the water.
Turcik first learned of the bay when he worked for the Chesapeake Conservancy, an environmental nonprofit in Annapolis that helped push for the spot’s designation as a national marine sanctuary, which it achieved in 2019. He visited it withIt was when visiting the bay to take photos for an illustrated paddler’s guide to its attractions that Turcik took that photo of a solitary ship against a pinkening sky.
In 2020, a representative of the Postal Service approached Turcik about the photo, which was posted on social media. Turcik declined to say how much he earned for allowing his picture to grace a stamp but said it’s the most he’s ever been paid for one of his photos.And now he patiently awaits seeing the stamp in the wild, so to speak. He thinks it will be a kick to get a piece of mail with a Mallows Bay stamp on it. He preordered five sets of the marine sanctuaries set for his own use.
