The Morrison Hotel Gallery opened its doors to the public last night for the premiere exhibition of Norman Seeff. Seeff began the the night with an hour long conversation at the Soho Apple store engaging with the audience about his creative thinking processes and different techniques he uses to interact with his artists. After a wonderful conversation, the crowd migrated down the block to the gallery where Norman's work shined. Images of Ray Charles, James Taylor, and Steve Jobs highlighted the venue.

The Morrison Hotel Gallery will be open to the public over the next two weeks displaying Norman's astonishing work.

Kirkland was selected by Luhrmann to shoot the portraits and posters for the sure to be blockbuster hit. Moab would like to congratulate Douglas for his astonishing images of the cast and contribution during this tremendous production.

The workshops and feature talks serve to model a life in photogrpahy by offering insights into the technical, artistic, and personal motivation of each speaker. "Many people engage in photogrpahy to connect to the land", says Hucko. "While the land is certainly the physical space that we are all attracted to my main focus is to have participatants better connect to themselves through the process of making personally meaningful photogrpahs where the land is employed as subject" 

In addition the symposium brings in other national and regional photographers to serve as feature speakers and workshop leaders. 

On April 8th, the Dubrovnik Museum of Modern Art will present an overall retrospective of Robert Farber's work.

The images in this exhibition are pigment prints printed on Somerset Enhanced Velvet archival paper.   

"...At an early age I had a desire to be a painter, I worked in oils and watercolors. When I started as a photographer the use of certain films and filters gave me the painterly look that I was after. However, printing the images were limited to a straight photographic process. So, when digital printing was introduced, I experimented with various papers and was able to go back to the original fine art paper that I used for my watercolors, Somerset Fine Art."

Botanique is such a gorgeous collection of images, meticulously printed on a variety of Moab papers, that it's hard to describe in words. So, we'll use both pictures and words.

Acclaimed as “origami in a box”, Botanique is a hand-made, limited edition artist book that astutely blends old craft and cutting edge new technologies to create an exquisite limited edition art book and art object that is completely unique.  Holding a print of a delicate floral image printed on Moenkopi Unryu felt as though I was holding the actual flower. The portfolio shipped with white cotton gloves, which reinforced the book's museum-quality.

Originally (and successfully) funded and crowd-sourced via a Kickstarter project, Botanique contains twenty-one luscious floral prints that emerge delicately and seductively from the hand-assembled presentation box. 

Botanique has been hand printed on an Epson 9900 StylusPro printer using archival Ultrachrome inks. Within the book there are twenty-one prints on archival substrates including archival vellum, Moenkopi Unryu Washi, Moenkopi Kozo Washi, Moab Slickrock Matallic Pearl ,and Colorado Fiber Gloss photographic paper. Each book is hand-cut, and hand-assembled in the artist’s studio. Bonus features include three foldout prints in over-sized panoramic format.

The books have sold so well, that there are only two remaining.  Each book is hand-signed and numbered by the artist, and presented in an archival box measuring approximately 9.25″ X 12.5″ X 1″ deep.
