In 2003, he told us, on a day when ocean swells were huge, he accepted an invitation from North Valley Helicopters, which flies tours to the lighthouse, to join them for a great photo opportunity. "The next summer I was contacted by a photo agency in Washington that had found the photo on my website and said the USPS wanted to commission a painting of it for possible use on a postage stamp. I had to keep this secret until it was officially announced in the Fall of 2006, one of the hardest secrets I've ever had to keep." The stamp, with a painting by Howard Koslow based on Corley's photo, will be released in 2007.

Photo of the Week; Stephen M. Corley, of the The Daily Triplicate in Crescent City, CA. - After a flair was reported off of pebble beach in Crescent City, Calif., and the Battery Point lighthouse keeper reported hearing someone yelling from the area, the Coast Guard launched a search-and-rescue helicopter to scour the area last Tuesday night. The search was called off after nothing was found.
