International Exhibition in support of Indigenous Peoples

We're excited about our collaboration with a new international traveling photography exhibition titled DIGNITY:  TRIBES IN TRANSITION, which includes 60 black and white photographs by acclaimed artist Dana Gluckstein from her recently published book, DIGNITY.

The focus of the exhibition is to educate and raise awareness in support of Indigenous Peoples.  The exhibition opened in Berlin at the Willy-Brandt-Haus Museum in February, 2011, and was just invited by the United Nations to present in Geneva at the Palais des Nations from July 11 – August 31, 2011.

The opening night will be hosted by the Office of the High Commissioner on Human Rights and coordinates with the annual UN session of the Expert Mechanism of Indigenous Leaders. The exhibition will then continue touring in Europe before beginning a U.S. tour in 2013.

All the prints were produced on Moab's Entrada Rag Natural 300.

Object of Desire

The new Lasal Exhibition Luster 300 was selected by PDN magazine for this month's Object of Desire by gear-guru and tech editor, Dan Havlik.

"Even if you’re not planning a gallery show any time soon, crank out of few of your photos on Lasal Exhibition Luster 300 and the wheels in your head will start spinning. Images printed on this paper demand to be exhibited."

Moab Symposium

What's better than spending four days in Moab improving your photography and shooting in one of the most beautiful places on earth?  Hangin' with John Sexton might qualify. 

It's the Moab Symposium time of year again (May 12-15) when photographers from all corners of the globe come together to attend workshops, photograph the Moab surroundings and learn from the pros.  The four-day schedule is jam-packed with events that we got exhausted reading through the list!

To make this symposium even sweeter (impossible, right?) are Moab Paper prizes, giveaways and the chance to spend unlimited time with our local Moab rep...priceless. 

Space Photography

There's something awe-inspiring to see images taken from space.  Usually the images provoke the curiosity in us - like 'how' was this shot or 'what' were the Astronauts doing?

Moab Master, Michael Soluri has some answers. Soluri had exclusive (and unprecedented) access to the space shuttle mission that saved the Hubble Telescope.  Some of his story was recently published in Aperture Magazine and an excerpt can be read here.

With the final NASA shuttle launch still pending, the enormity of Soluri's project comes into focus.  Some say the final launch marks the end of an era.  We're just grateful Soluri was able to document and share his images with the world.  Stay tuned for a national exhibit of his work and a book sometime in 2012. When his exhibition goes up, his gorgeous images will be printed on Moab Entrada Rag.
