Photography must be in the genes with this father and son team.
Kevin Fleming started shooting photographs for the Smyrna High School newspaper. After attending Wesley College in Dover, Delaware (where he was inducted into the college Hall of Fame) Kevin became a newspaper photojournalist first with the Delaware State News and then with the News Journal. Then Kevin spent a decade covering the world for National Geographic magazine. Now, as both a photographer and book publisher, Kevin’s work has been published in 17 coffee table books. For his huge, 360-page book The Heart of America Kevin spent most of a decade photographing all 50 states. Reader’s Digest put The Heart of America first on their list of 100 Best Things in America and named Kevin “America’s Best Observer.” His latest book Wild Delaware was the state’s #1 bestselling book ever.
At only 14 years old, Jay Fleming won Grand Prize in the Environmental Protection Agency’s nationwide photography contest. Though he has just turned 22, Jay has more than a dozen magazine covers to his credit and his work has been published in books and other publications. Jay graduated from St. Mary’s College of Maryland in May 2009.

Kevin,
I’ve followed and enjoyed your work since the days I lived in Dover and read the DSN. What a delight it was today to see your latest work featured by Power Line, a favorite blog of this political junkie. I must confess, however, I’m feeling my age when I see that you have 22 year old son who is also an accomplished photographer. Seems to me when I first discovered you, you were not much more than 22, if that.
I just returned yesterday from a working vacation in Rehoboth — and it’s great to know that there is a site I can go to for pictures of “home”. Thanks for making the transition from “heaven” back to reality a little easier today. I truly love what you do, and greatly admire your talent.
Regards,
