I guess the unexpected will always occur at an event like Sundance. When I first arrived, I had no idea of an amazing project that was about to come my way.

Kevin Mazur, a highly respected music and celebrity photographer who was in Park City with WireImage to photograph celebrities at the People Magazine Luxury Lounge, plans to have a book of his photographs published this later this year. All Access will document his years photographing the top musicians in the industry. Prior to publication, he wanted to have a 20 page mock up produced for talent consent purposes. I was asked to help Kevin to get the mock up printed while at the Festival.

Wow! How lucky was I? Over the past month, I had managed the production of signage for the various HP venues at the Festival so I had a great printing vendor mind for the job, Rastar in Salt Lake City.

I met with Kevin and his business manager, Sheryl Olson at the Luxury Lounge. Both are perfectionists! We reviewed files they had chosen for the book. Sheryl selected media and the cover composition. The high resolution files where loaded on the ftp server. Rastar put the book into production on the HP Indigo Digital Press 5000. Two days later, 25 copies of Kevin's book were delivered to the Luxury Lounge. Kevin and Sheryl were so very happy with the HP printed book. It was a very impressive production.

Later that evening, approximately, 90 attendees from the annual HP Graphic Arts Summit attended dinner at Shabu. Kevin talked with the audience about his experiences with HP technology.

We are very lucky to have Kevin Mazur as one of HP's biggest fans. He uses and loves HP products and technology. His book and promotional postcards were printed on the HP Indigo Digital Press. His portfolio is printed using the HP Designjet NR130 and he has previously used HP Photosmart 8250. His celebrity images at the Festival were printed on a HP Designjet 5500. He even used an HP Photosmart 475 GoGo printer to print photos of his family at Christmas. Kevin graciously signed ten copies of his sample book and raffled them to some very lucky media and analysts.

It is gratifying to help an artist like Kevin Mazur share his vision with people all over the world. I am certainly looking forward to reading the completed book, All Access by Kevin Mazur, later this year. Aren't you?
