Maine Governor, John E. Baldacci, has agreed to participate in Liam’s next photography exhibit: “Mainiacs: Portraits of Prominent Maine Leaders and why they love our State.” Baldacci recently sat for a portrait with Liam at the State Capitol.

Photographer Liam Crotty is in the process of shooting photographic portraits of over 30 prominent “Maineacs” for his upcoming exhibit. A skilled photographer and lover of his native Maine, Crotty’s exhibitions include “Finding Norman Rockwell’s Small Town America” and “Faces of the Kennebunks”.

Dear Friends,

The Maine Ambassadors of Food and Drink and the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA) collaborated and commissioned me to put together a photographic recreation of the Norman Rockwell painting Freedom from Want.

Governor John Baldacci agreed to let us photograph this iconic Thanksgiving scene in the Governor’s Dining Room at the Blaine House.

The models come from each of these organizations and are the people in Maine who work to make sure that Maine food is plentiful, safe, sustainable delicious and appreciated.

Proceeds from sales of the image will be split between MOFGA and the Maine Ambassadors.

If you have any questions you can contact Margo Mallar from the Maine Ambassadors, who is coordinating the project. maineambassadors@gmail.com or 207.712.5864.

Please keep in mind this is a low-resolution image for quick uploading and viewing. Any prints you make would come from the original, high-resolution images.

Take care,

Liam
