On the floor at PhotoPlus 2010

Day two of the PDN PhotoPlus 2010 show came to a close and 400 lucky (and patient) people walked away with signed prints from Michael Zide, Salvatore Vasapolli, Andrew Darlow and Jody Dole. Our buddies at ClearBags supplied archival Crystal Clear Bags to protect all those signed prints.  Thank you all for stopping by our booth and enduring the long lines.  

The best part of any trade show is to talk to our fans.  We heard tons of stories about why you love Moab, and listened to your suggestions about what you want from us.  We showcased the Entradalopes and Chinle Ice Nine portfolios, and demonstrated new and fun ways to present your work.

But the real star of the show was Somerset Museum Rag.  Our motto is 'you've got to feel it to believe it,' and sure enough, everyone who touched the new Somerset Museum Rag fell in love with its lush and supple surface and its 4th generation coating that produces deep, rich blacks.  

If you were at the show and liked what you saw, then come back for more tomorrow as we round off our Moab Master print signing event with Barbara Bordnick, Jose Gaytan and Ryszard Horowitz.

Tweet-Up with @moabpaper at PhotoPlus

If you plan to attend this year's PhotoPlus Expo in New York City we're participating in their 2nd annual Tweet Up on Thursday, Oct. 28th at 4pm EST.

PDNOnline technology editor @Dan Havlik will be hosting and there will be a ton of prizes being raffled off - including some Chinle Ice Nine portfolio kits.  If that's not incentive enough, this will be a great opportunity to connect with many photogs. See you there!  @moabpaper

Meet Andy Biggs at Dury's this weekend

Moab's coming to Nashville and we're hauling along Andy Biggs, photographer extraordinaire and all-around nice guy.  On Friday Andy will show you how he makes his beautiful prints.  Have a technical issue?  This is the man to asnwer it. Then on Saturday, Andy will present his popular program, "Click to Print."

If you are a photographer and want to hear how to become more profitable in your business, Andy will lay it out for you.  As photographers I think we would all agree that one of the missing ingredients in completing our vision for an image is the final output.  Total print control with no excuses.   A “meet and greet” will follow and Moab Paper swatch books will be available for all in attendance.  If you are interested in profitability and control (and who isn't?), make time to be with us.

These events will take place at Dury’s, 701 Ewing Avenue, Nashville, 37203.  No need to register for these classes - just show up to either or both at your convenience!

Moab and Levi's Join Forces

Like peanut butter and chocolate, we were destined to find each other...

Tonight marks the opening of the Levi's Photo Workshops - the second community-based venue for collaboration and creative production (the first was last Summer in San Francisco).  

Open to the public and housed in an open gallery space with a downtown vibe, the workshops feature a professional-grade studio, vintage camera rental, a dozen loaded Mac workstations, a few high end printers and curated shows.  All the equipment, studio space and atmosphere are free.

The launch kicks off tonight at 8pm with an awesome party and opening exhibition at the Workshop's NYC SoHo location on Wooster Street (between Broome and Canal).  

The exhibition, New York: New Work, with Tim Barber and online gallery Tiny Vices features over 30 photographers and their shots of New York all printed on Lasal Photo Luster.  To get your name on the invite list click here to RSVP.
