This was the first of many iterations of the cover - a 3000-year-old Guang vessle from China - and the one I had my hand in the most. Hamilton Steele, another one of our staff photographers, played a large role in these images too, as well as in many of the other images in the catalogue. The cover that was eventually approved (the next image) is entirely his except for some editing on my part. Ally Beck was the graphic designer for everything you see here.
Credit for this incredible shot goes to Hamilton Steele. My role was largely to assist with the post production of the image, which he also played a large role in.
We've threatened to rent a smoke machine and some lasers for a cover shot many times in the past, but this time we finally followed through (kind of - the smoke you see is from an e-cigarette and the lasers from a laser pointer). Our Guang vessel got the 80's roller rink vibe it was always meant to have.

Another detail for the start of our Japanese Art session.
Two examples of pages from the catalogue. A before-and-after will be uploaded soon for the hardwood screen as it took some Photoshop wizardry to get it to this point that's worth pointing out.
