| For General Release: Monday 14th April 2008 Fine Art Photographer helps campaign Southern Nevadans to "Get Outdoors" and support important stewardship efforts Three 40-foot buses have been wrapped with images exclusively provided by master fine art photographer Nicholas A. Price as part of a three-month campaign to encourage Southern Nevadans to Get Outdoors and help fill the need for event and operational volunteers at the four federal land management agencies. The project hopes to increase public awareness and promote the message for volunteers to help take care of our Public Lands on a backdrop of photographs taken by Nicholas Price that show off the natural beauty of Lake Mead, Red Rock Canyon and Mount Charleston. The campaign is a partnership with Nicholas Price, the Southern Nevada Agency Partnership and the UNLV Public Lands Institute. Nicholas Price has taken over 12,000 photographs of Southern Nevada's natural beauty over the past 10 years, which includes the critically acclaimed Playground of the Gods photography that is currently of display at the Las Vegas Springs Preserve until April 30th 2008. Nicholas creates his unique and artistic photography using traditional film rather than digital formats. This process allows his photography to be reproduced as huge formats without destroying the integrity or quality of the final image. This project and partnership is part of Nicholas Price's commitment to the educational outreach of his unique photographic legacy, which is being extended to the community at large through strategic partnerships with other corporations, educators and non-profit organizations. The Southern Nevada Agency Partnership (SNAP) is comprised of the Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and U.S. Forest Service. SNAP was formed in 1997 as a unique interagency partnership to address 14 initiatives including litter clean up, volunteerism, resource protection, recreation, science and research, outdoor recreation education, law enforcement, and other issues.
