About Remsberg Inc.
While at the University of Maryland Remsberg interned at local newspapers, including the Baltimore News-American and theBaltimore Sun . Remsberg produced extended photo essays on topics of personal interest, such as tent revival meetings, missionary work in Belize, the war in El Salvador, and the violence-scarred elections in Haiti. After the temporary assignment, Remsberg remained on staff at The Sun while completing his degree. His 1987 photograph of the Amtrak crash in Chase, Maryland was selected by Life Magazine as one of their "Pictures of the Year" and later "Pictures of the Decade." He also placed in the 1988 Hearst National Photojournalism competition.
In 1989 Remsberg left the paper to work as a freelancer. In addition to editorial assignments for newspapers and magazines and work for corporate clients, Remsberg began his association with the Johns Hopkins University Press, which has published several books with his photographs. The first, Maryland's Vanishing Lives , was published in 1994 and profiles people who represent the survivors of dying industries and subcultures in Maryland. An exhibit based on his photographs from the book was developed by the Baltimore Museum of Industry and funded through a 1993 grant from the 
Maryland Humanities Council. Next he was asked to produce black and white images of Civil War sculptures in Washington, DC for Testament to Union , which described each sculpture and its history thoroughly and required evocative, detailed representations. When Hopkins Press decided to update its New Guide to the Old Line State , originally published in 1940 with photographs taken by Aubrey Bodine, they asked Remsberg to travel the state to supply the modern photographs. And Remsberg was again tapped for Football in Baltimore , a compendium of Colts memorabilia.
Concurrently, Remsberg formalized his long-time relationship with the state Cooperative Extension Service through a part-time position at the University of Maryland in 1994, traveling the state and documenting agriculture in Maryland. In this work his interests in agriculture, Maryland heritage, and the changing nature of traditional work in a modern economy fused into a theme central to his personal projects. The Maryland Historical Trust awarded him a grant to assist in their documentation of the vanishing tobacco farming culture, which collapsed after the state's buyout.
Largely through his work with Extension Service at the University of Maryland, Remsberg has moved into teaching assignments, whether training UM faculty in digital photography or developing the "4-H Photography Challenge" for kids at the Maryland State Fair, where budding photographers learn to use photo essays to develop a storyline rather than rely on single images.
Remsberg was chosen by the United States Department of
Agriculture to document their programs throughout the country. Through this project he has traveled from Maine to California, from Alaska to Hawaii to Pohnpei in the Pacific, photographing blueberry barrens, cotton fields, vineyards, cattle ranches, health and nutrition classes on native American reservations and in women's prisons, programs to bring veterinarians to remote rural areas and programs to develop a local industry culturing black pearls.
And of course we are very proud of our former interns and assistants who have gone on to do amazing work of their own
