We're situated in the Northeastern United States in New England's most northern state of Maine.

Bio
The eclectic works of Debra and Gene Cyr are inspired by Maine's rural character where nature is the true artist. Their job, as they see it, is to capture what has been so beautifully layed out before them. Living in the far northern region of Maine inspires them to be a part of this world of living things and the vast outdoors, doing their best to be out in nature every day taking photos, but at the same time trying to have as little impact on our natural resources as possible. Capturing the beauty around them with their cameras, but at the same time leaving it exactly as it was so others coming after them can see it as they witnessed it.

Artist Statement
Our goal is to show the rest of the world that the state of Maine is one of America's true visual treasures. People know Maine best through scenes of our beautiful coast, but Maine is so much more. For most people northern Maine is a paradise waiting to be experienced, we hope that the experience will be made a little easier through our photos. As photographers we try to capture what nature so kindly places before us, and do it justice. As a digital artist through photo manipulations, Gene uses his imagination and creates something slightly different than what nature intended, and hopefully nature doesn't mind.

Northern Maine
All photos on this website have been taken in Northern Maine's Aroostook County, also known as "The County" and the Katahdin area north. Eventually we hope to cover all of Aroostook County, the Mount Katahdin Area, and the Calais area our northern most Maine coast, as well as our beloved St. John Valley, so rich in Acadian Culture and home to the St. John River and part of our border with Canada.

The Maine Woods
Henry David Thoreau's book "The Maine Woods", is based on three trips to Maine he took in search of a deeper wilderness. Today, although northern Maine is much more developed than it was in Thoreau's day, it remains a wilderness, the home of both wildlife and hardy Mainers. We are a big part of the great North Woods but also home to farms stretching across rolling hills all the way to the Canadian border. Maine is such a diverse state and although we're best known for our coastal scenary we hope that our pictures will show people some of that diversity.

The County
Aroostook County is our home, both my wife and I were raised in the St. John Valley,so we have deep County roots. One of our favorite things to do is explore our great forests and farm lands. No matter how often it happens encountering one of Maine's wild critters is always a thrill. I've been known to almost forget to take a picture when coming upon a moose or deer.

Made In Maine
Maine people have a reputation for producing quality products, people actually search the search engines for Maine Made Products. We try to live up to that reputation with every picture we sell, after all what could be more "Maine Made" than pictures of Maine taken by life long residents of the state of Maine.
