Taj Mahal Review Jesse contriuted to the December issue of the Taj Mahal review - an international journal of short stories, poetry, drawings and photographs published in India by Santosh Kumar. "Mr. Kumar asked to include two of my images in his latest issue," Jesse says, "and I was all too happy to contribute." Last month our popular reproductions hits HomeGoods in a smart looking pallet display. We printed all of these on paper certified environmentally friendly by the Forest Stewarship Council. In addition to being earth-friendly, this is a premium paper stock which gives us brilliant whites and very strong blacks. While we didn't have the space to announce this on the framed prints themselves, all of these are also matted in 100% recycled mat board. "Green Lodging News" noted last month that our Interior Design customers can now create custom cutting-edge 100% green framed products using earth-friendly, recylced components. Contact Lisa Mays (919) 967-4300, xt.23 or lisa@kalisher.com for details.

Jesse was featured in B&W Magazine. If you'd like to read the whole 8-page feature you can download a PDF.
Interior Design Magazine has declared Jesse's work "Striking" in the past and this month they feature his work again as part of their Fall Market Tabloid. The illustrious magazine selected an image from Jesse's Tuscany collection and highlighted the fact that it's available in a 100% green framing option. Decor Magazine named Jesse one of 2006's rising
stars, likening his artwork and his ability to cater to all ends
of the art market to other successful artists including Andy Warhol.
"A high honor, indeed," says Jesse who readily admits
that the ability of artists such as Warhol and Ansel Adams to make
their work available to the general public in addition to fine art
collectors has always been an inspiration to him. Jesse Named "Hometown Hero" by Local Radio Station WCHL, AM1360 in Chapel Hill and Durham, North Carolina named Jesse a "Hometown Hero." The award recognizes Jesse for his work raising money for the Fisher House (tm) Foundation as well as for his work to protect children to fly on commercial airlines from "R" rated images of violence. You can listen to the station's announcement here. "It's a bit over the top," Jesse said reluctantly. "I'm certainly appreciative, but I'm sure there are other folks in the community more deserving than I am... ultimately, if the announcement helps Fisher House (tm) raise more money, or helps our cause with the airlines, then terrific." The Photo Marketing Association reported on Jesse's unique work with Regent Seven Seas Cruises: Guests sailing the Mediterranean and Greek Isles aboard Regent Seven Seas Voyager this fall will have an opportunity to participate in photography expeditions led by noted travel photographer Jesse Kalisher, as part of the line's exclusive Circles of Interest series. Kalisher will be a featured Circle of Interest
host aboard the 700-guest, all-suite/all- balcony Voyager through
Oct. 21, teaching small groups of guests how to nurture their own
"photographer's eye." Each sailing, beginning with the
Sept. 16, Nice to Civitavecchia (for Rome) voyage, will include
two small group excursions with Kalisher; depending on individual
cruise itineraries, guests may capture stunning landscape photography
in Santorini, Greco-Roman ruins in Taormina, or natural beauty in
the ports of call Portofino or St. Tropez...
