This Weekend: Moab Day at Pro Photo Supply

We're truckin' down I-5 to spend some time with our pals over at Pro Photo Supply in Portland, Oregon this weekend.  Well, actually, we're crashing another party (but don't tell the folks over at Olympus). 

This weekend (December 3-4), we're bringing in the guns with our very own Scott Conry and certified Moab print master, Evan Parker.  We invite you to come down with your favorite image on a thumb drive and Evan will print it out for you on one of the Moab fine art papers.

Having trouble finding the perfect gift for the photographer in your life?  Look no further because the folks at Pro Photo Supply are also offering a 15% discount on all Moab papers this weekend.  Can't think of a better way to kick off December!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Gathering of family is as old as time.

We at Moab wish you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving

Glazer's Camera in Seattle is holding a Nikon sales event this Friday to Sunday and Moab's gonna crash the party.  Well, not really.  We were kind of invited.

Plus there's more!  All Moab products (except Chinle) will be 10% off this weekend.  So, swing by Glazer's this weekend for some great deals, free prints and nice people.  Can't beat that.

Nash Editions Chooses Colorado Fiber

If you happen to be checking out the current exhibit hanging at the Annenberg Space for Photography, you'll recognize some familiar names such as Michael Nichols, Paul Nicklen, Clyde Butcher and Colorado Fiber.  

All the printing for Extreme Exposure was done by Nash Editions using their current favorite, Colorado Fiber Gloss paper.

Extreme Exposure is a group exhibit that celebrates five photographers who thrive in environments that few dare to explore braving dangerous conditions in order to capture rarely seen moments in the life of our planet. Extreme Exposure continues through April 17, 2011.

The venue, an initiative of the Annenberg Foundation and its trustees, is the first solely photographic cultural destination in the Los Angeles area, and it creates a new paradigm in the world of photography.

Printing Portfolios at the Hallmark Institute

Last week we had the pleasure to visit the Hallmark Institute of Photography and present a short seminar about printing and creating portfolios using the Moab Chinle family of albums and papers.  

Now, if you've never been up to the school, you're missing out on one of the best photo programs in the country.  Nestled in the beautiful New England countryside of Turners Falls, Mass, Hallmark is renowned for its intensive hands-on curriculum.  We witnessed exactly what this entailed by sitting in on a lighting class.  We were blown away by the facilities, enthusiasm (both students and professors) and the quality of teaching.  

The professors are working professionals and are considered masters in their crafts, teaching students on the very best state-of-the-art equipment.  The lab where we presented had 75 printing bays each with its own Epson 2880.  I can't even imagine how much ink they burn through in a given month!

The purpose of our seminar was to demonstrate how easy it is to create your own portfolios.  We walked through the process of downloading and installing the Moab ICC profiles and then went to work importing, sizing and printing images to the Chinle 12x12 square format.  When it comes time for these students to make their own portfolios in the spring, the photo world better be prepared to see some amazing talent.

Learn Color Management

We just found out about a new one-day workshop on color management by photographer and author extraordinaire, Andrew Darlow. 

You'll walk away with a practical working knowledge of how to make profiles, use the latest color management hardware / software and learn a bunch of technical info on all the printers. 

Andrew will load you up with Moab paper samples and a workbook so you'll never forget his tips and tricks.

Where's it at?  Thought you'd never ask.  The workshop takes place this Saturday, November 6th at Calumet's NYC location.
