Several months ago, CBS Sunday Morning (One of my all time favorites!) featured Gregory Colbert's Nomadic Museum in New York. It was amazing. He had a temporary museum built form shipping containers on a pier. It was filled with large format prints of his haunting images featuring children with wild animals. The images had an unreal quality. They seemed not possible.
Last week, I visited the amazing studio of Zack Arias, music photographer extraordinarie. He had a display of his favorite photography books (I'm totally copying this for the studio remodel). One of them was a book filled with Colbert's work. It was a book covered in hand made Nepalese paper tied with a string, and the images were printed on fine art paper in Italy. It was one of the most beautiful books I'd ever seen.
So, the very next day I started searching for a copy of the book. Apparently, Zack's version is no longer in print, but I was able to find another version. It arrived today. WOW!
Hopefully, I will be able to create a version to use for portrait sessions and weddings. Stay tuned.
