Betty Sederquist has been publishing her photographs for more than 30 years. She first learned her craft by working for commercial photographers in Alaska and later by observing National Geographic staff photographers who visited the state. Later she served as associate editor/photo editor for ALASKA magazine and was managing editor/unofficial staff photographer for Sacramento magazine. After eight years of living in Alaska followed by numerous return visits, she maintains an extensive Alaska stock collection, including large files on Prince William Sound and Southeast Alaska. She also has extensive files on Northern California plus slides from Arizona, interior British Columbia, the Yukon Territory, the Amazon jungle and the Galapagos Islands. Natural history specialties include marine mammals and Sierra Nevada wildflowers. Photo manipulation using Adobe PhotoShop has been a passion for years (she currently teaches Photoshop at a local community college).All of the approximately 1400 photos displayed on this website are low-resolution (72 ppi). However, original images are of high quality, unless otherwise noted.Most of Betty's 55,000 images are 35mm color transparencies, plus thousands of black and white 35mm and 6x7 negatives, and hundreds of 6x7 Fujichrome transparencies. Recently she added a Fuji S3 digital SLR and Nikon D200 digital SLR to her equipment arsenal. Credits include National Geographic books, Sunset magazine, Backpacker, Bicycling, Destinations, Highlights for Children, Mercator, Ranger Rick, Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, Steppin Out, McGraw Hill, Serrano and many more.Recently she's added hundreds of images of people in California Gold Rush costume (circa 1849) and additional photos of the Coloma-Lotus Valley, in the heart of the California Gold country. She also has over 500 aerial photos of the northern California coastline from Point Sur to Mendocino, including lighthouses.Take a look at this material from Glacier Bay, Alaska. Betty led a photography trip to the region in 1999 and looks forward to her tenth tour to Southeast Alaska 2007. Traveling by small boat, she has taken more than 14,000 images of glaciers, humpback whales, cruise ships, totem poles and much more. And then there's London and Paris in April, 2000, with hundreds of images.For years she has been a volunteer photographer for the Folsom City Zoo Sanctuary, an animal rescue center. Now she is selling prints and greeting cards of some of the zoo critters.
