Originally, the majority of the photographs in Maitri materials were taken by me (Julia Volkman, Maitri Learning's founder). However, I need to thank many of my friends and family members for helping me locate all the perfect objects (from nets to pools) to photograph. Also, thanks to those who sent in a photo like my friend Rolf Hanlon who contributed a photo of his pet iguana, my nephew Sean Lynch who sent in the photo of the sand dollar, and my college roommate Davette Harris who sent the beautiful photo of her and her son which appears in the Mammals set. 

Other Credits

Over the years, as my need for far ranging subjects has grown, there are many photos that I licensed or found in the public domain rather than taking myself. Some of these licenses ask that an attribution be posted explaining basic information about the photo/photography. For pedagogical reasons, these attributions can not be printed on the cards that use the images (this would create a distraction for the young child). So, the attributions for these photos are listed here. (Note: This list is in progress and is being updated.)
