"Last Saturday" Coming Up - Labrang Show Coming Down

This Saturday will be the last opportunity to see the Labrang Monastery prints at the SCA Gallery. The show comes down after the Art Walk, which concludes this Saturday evening. I'll be there in the 6-7 pm window when it will be much less hectic than when the show opened on Second Saturday, both in terms of parking and people. Always fun to talk about photographs and remote places in the world. (If you have not been to the SCA Gallery, it is in the basement at 281 S. Thomas. Look for the entry on Thomas north of the restaurant. Take the elevator down one floor or take the stairs, which are on the right as you enter.)

For those who are interested in purchasing a print, you can do so at the Gallery through Bob Pece, the Curator. I think you'll find the prices quite affordable. A portion of each sale goes to this excellent gallery, which I am pleased to support. Check the online version of the catalog, which should open in your browser courtesy of Google Docs. (If it doesn't, there is a hard copy at the SCA.) I would be happy to help as well, so contact me if you have any questions. The best way to do this is via email at jcmanleyy@gmail.com.

Palladium prints from my first show are also available. Check the earlier online catalog at this direct link, or check back to July in this Blog.

Two Blurb books are available as well. The first features prints from the June SCA show; the second, my trip to Western China in November (which did not include Labrang, but did include images from along the Silk Route).

They can be purchased directly from Blurb, which has a neat "preview" program. The links below let you preview each book in your browser for free. If wished, they can be ordered with several options, including a premium lustre paper option. In my opinion, Blurb does a very high quality job on these books.

• Sense of the Distant Past (Palladium Prints)
• Xingjiang: From the Karakoram Highway to Hemu

Catch you Saturday!
