Product Photographer
The late Jimi Lott was an award-winning professional photography for the Seattle Times newspaper. He took many of the shots of the products, TripleBrights II, Lamps, Filters, Goggles, etc. Don took the shots for the SuperBright 3, B2, and B3 battery pack.
Mineral Photographer
Jeffrey A. Scovil of Phoenix, AZ the famous professional mineral photographer took all of the photos for the morphing minerals. Jeff is one of the photographers for the Mineralogical Record, and Rocks and Minerals magazines. Don sent Jeff some of his specimens and two SuperBright 2000SW and two SuperBright 2010LW UV lights along with extra LW lamps so Jeff could take photos under SW, LW350, and LW370.
Morphing Minerals
FMS member Axel Emmermann is from Antwerp, Belgium. He is a lab technician at a quality control laboratory of a petrochemical company. He is married with two children. Axel is active in the Mineral Club Antwerp (MKA), and provided several of the fluorescent mineral photos for their web site. Axel programmed all of the morphing pictures and provided the fluorescent stereo photos for this web site.
Maybe one of the most interesting aspects of Axel is how he helped trap the thieves of the 
Moon Rocks that were stolen from NASA in Houston in July 2002. Read that fantastic story in the FMS Jan. Feb. 2003 UV WAVES. Without Axels help the moon rocks might never have been recovered!
