The Keough's were so
appreciative to see and talk to so many of you. They apologize if they
didn't get a chance to speak to each one and they hope you'll
understand.



To our surprise they brought both volumes and its interesting to compare
them side by side to see how technology in production has changed
mostly in print quality since 2003.



If you were in during the peak around 2 and didn't get a chance to
handle the tomes I've arranged to keep them at the gallery till Tuesday.
Unfortunately the cases, which are an amazing piece of book technology
and are the only ones of this quality in the world, have to go with them
to their next stop on this tour so they won't be here Mon. & Tues..
  Having said that I will open this Monday from 12:00 - 4:00 specially
to view these books. Tuesday will be the regular hours but I will be
closed between 12:00 and 2:30 for the Walk A Mile event at Portage and
Main (Ladybug Foundation). 



Thanks again to all that attended for demonstrating that Manitoba
photographers appreciate the works of other Canadian image takers.

world wide launches. 



On Sunday Friesens will be launching two new book press products.
They've made a major investment in a brand new digital press, the first
in North America, to accommodate these projects and you'll be the first
in the world to know about it. I had the pleasure of spending a day with
their printing press people to see it in action and it is amazing.
You'll see the actual first production books that have come off this new
press.



Turnstone Press, one of Canada leading publishers, and may I add multi
award winning publishers, has a completely new concept that they will
discuss with us and this is leading edge, I won't say anymore. They will
spend time on book content and distribution and real expectations on
how to make money in the book business.



Mike Grandmaison and Dennis Fast have new books that they will be
showing that are new concept publications and some even include world
wide distribution packages. Very interesting.



Have you ever heard the term "tome". Wikipedia defines it "A tome is a
large book, especially one volume of a multi-volume scholarly work." You
will see the newly released volume two tome entitled "Labyrinth
Sublime" from the internationally acclaimed and award winning
photographers Pat and Rosemarie Keough. They are going to show all the
fine details that have gone into this amazing 40 lb. book and then
you'll understand why its won so many awards and is $5000 cdn. a copy
(Sorry Sold Out). 



Debbie Vokie is representing a group from the Manitoba Camera Club. They
have been testing a number of online book publishers and she will walk
you through some of what they have learned. My Publisher, Blurb,
MixBook are a few of what you'll be introduced to.



In all it's going to be a very interesting and educational day and one you'll not likely to forget, I know I won't.

As you are aware we have a Special Book Publishing event this Sunday, Jan 29th. We couldn't help but think of our photographic friends who are unable to spend the whole day with us on Sunday. So, one of our very special keynote speakers for the event is arriving from Salt Spring Island on Friday evening. I spoke to them a few minutes ago and told them about the different photo clubs, forums and associations in Manitoba that support Pixels. They expressed their willingness to work with us and to share some of their own photographic work in the form of presenting their latest photographic tome (large scale book) to view and then answer any questions you might have.

The Authors:

It is my esteem honour to announce the internationally acclaimed photographers Rosemarie and Pat Keough from Salt Spring Island, BC. Together this husband and wife team have been involved in numerous expeditions throughout the world over the past three decades. Their extensive photographic archives have been compiled into many volumes of self published works. Saturday, Jan 28th they will exhibit their second, newly released, tome entitled "Labyrinth Sublime". This amazing work of art tome from all aspects is a quintessential masterpiece in the publishing world. Their first tome “Antarctica” garnering them 23 national and international awards of distinction. At the International Photography Awards they earned two prestigious awards "Nature Photographer of the Year" and at the same time "The Worlds Best Photographic Book ". Rosemarie and Pat are very excited to meet and talk to our community of photographers in Manitoba.

We hope you can take advantage of this rare opportunity to meet these photographer and see this amazing tome. They will be in the gallery between 1:00 - 4:00 p.m. Saturday, Jan 28.
