John and Cynthia Orcutt are nature photographers and avid outdoor enthusiasts inspired by Maine’s high peaks. Formerly an architect–landscape architect team, they have pursued photography to express the inherent beauty of fragile natural and man-made places and to raise awareness of the need to protect and preserve them. Their work can be seen in galleries, public and private collections and in their book, Enduring Heights: The High Peaks of Maine. They live in Kingfield, Maine. orcuttphotography.com (Photo: Karen Herold)
