The stunning photography that is the focus of the BZS’s Bermuda Reef Life HD app will now be featured on letters and parcels posted around the world as the Bermuda Philatelic Bureau launched a new set of Bermuda Reef Fish stamps on May 21st.
The photographs are all the work of long-time BZS supporter, Ron Lucas, and are featured in the Bermuda Reef Life HD app, which can be downloaded for free from iTunes, Google Play and Amazon.com.
“I suggested the idea to some friends, one of whom is a keen collector and happens to be on the Government board,” explained Mr. Lucas. “He asked me for some examples and there was interest. In the end, I supplied about 15 different photos for consideration and of these, five were selected by the Bermuda Philatelic Bureau.”
The process took several months, including determining which photos to use, reviewing stamp layouts and writing the accompanying information for the first day covers, which Mr. Lucas provided with the assistance of Judie Clee.
“I like to donate my photos to worthy causes, and this was just another one which I hope will support caring for our underwater environment and possibly help tourism in a small way. Bermuda stamps are collected worldwide because of their limited numbers and beauty, so this is good publicity for our reefs,” Mr. Lucas shared.
“I am very honoured to have five of my photos selected to appear on Bermuda stamps, and this complements the issue of the Bermuda Commemorative Silver Coin that was produced a few years ago to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Bermuda Turtle Project, which was also based on one of my photos.”
The “Bermuda Reef Fish” stamps are available as first day covers ($5.50) and as sets ($3.55) from local post office branches and make lovely gifts for visitors and stamp collectors.
The Bermuda Reef Life HD app is available for free from the iTunes, Google Play and Amazon app stores.
