Tucsonan's cactus blossom photos land on new U.S. stamps

When John P. Schaefer got serious about photographing cactus flowers
20 years ago, it never occurred to him it would lead to this:

On Feb. 15, the U.S. Postal Service unveils its new Forever stamps,
and they feature 10 of the retired University of Arizona president’s photographs.

“I think it’s a real kick, actually,” says the 84-year-old Schaefer, who
will be at the unveiling at the AmeriStamp Expo in Mesa.

Schaefer, who co-founded the Center for Creative Photography with Ansel Adams,
has long been an avid photographer, has published books on the subject, and is the
photographer-in-residence at Phoenix’s Desert Botanical Gardens.
