We were working on the new studio today, bringing some things to decorate the space a bit before we start moving the big, heavy things. I have a photo taken by a former student of mine named Craig Cutler who is a photographer in New York City and a big deal in the world of advertising photography.

Craig was chosen to shoot a photo for the Life Magazine celebrating the 100 most important moments of the last millennium. As fate would have it he was chosen to represent Johannes Gutenberg as moment NUMBER ONE. He got to hold the bible, turn the pages, and choose which page would be used for the photo. Whew.

It is kind of coincidental that in my retirement I’ve gravitated to letterpress printing.

Here is Craig’s photo.

In Jill and my travels we’ve now seen 10 of the 48 or so Gutenberg Bibles.

If you stop by our studio you can see the original photo of Craig’s.
