Ben’s Portrait – The Mandate Press

The Mandate Press in Salt Lake City, Utah, is fast becoming known as the finest place in the country for letterpress printing. That’s because they are the finest place in the country for letterpress printing.

Ben Webster runs the show over there and Process Magazine is writing an article about him.  Then they called me because they need an accompanying portrait for the article.

I love going to Ben’s shop because they are always working on so many cool projects. It’s inspiring to see what they do and how many beautiful printed pieces they churn out on a daily basis, like business cards, wedding announcements, baby announcements, thank-you cards, birthday cards, holiday cards, and the like.

Let me just tell you that there is a mile-long list of photographers that get their business cards from Ben (like me!) including two wedding photographers I love, Max Wanger and Amelia Lyon.

If you want letterpress, it’s no secret that the Mandate Press is the place to go.

And now, Mister Ben Webster.

That Bulldog’s name is Rocco and yesterday it made a lunge right for my family jewels. Aren’t dogs fun! Everyone should own a dog!
