MILLER+MILLER Architectural Photography USPS Stamp I-74 Bridge

We are thrilled to announce and reveal a MILLER+MILLER Architectural Photography photo of the I-74 Bridge has been featured on a USPS Postage Stamp.


The United States Postal Service selected our I-74 bridge photo for its 2023 Bridges Collection showcasing four bridge photographs on the new Presorted First-Class Mail bulk mail users stamps!  The print run is expected to be more than 40 million.

The new I-74 Iowa-Illinois Memorial Bridge, often called The Twin Bridges, is located in Bettendorf IA and Moline IL connecting the Quad Cities over the Mississippi River.  The billion+ dollar Quad Cities I-74 Bridge was a MILLER+MILLER photography project for the legendary architect Miguel Rosales of Rosales + Partners.

MILLER+MILLER is thrilled to be awarded this feature! The postal service’s photograph for the stamp design is a night image and creative shot drone aerial photo of the twin arch bridges. As Chicago based photographers who travel to photograph Nationwide structural art, infrastructure, architecture, buildings, industrial, bridges, transportation and more, we were excited when Miguel selected us as the photographer for this photo project close to home. Fun M+M factoid: Ryan used to collect stamps & coins as a young dork.
