|
||
IDS Real Estate Group (IDS) recently announced a commission for Tom Gamache to create a single photograph capturing the interior of the new Perris Distribution Center (PDC) in Perris CA. Capturing the immensity of the PDC presented Gamache with one of his more interesting and challenging commissions. The PDC is thought to be among the worlds largest single story distribution centers covering in excess of 1,600,000 square feet with a circumference of over one mile. IDS has a long and successful working relationship with Gamache having begun working with him almost ten years ago imaging their many architectural projects in Southern California. In addition IDS presently owns and displays one the largest collections of Tom Gamache landscape art prints throughout their offices in downtown Los Angeles.

Early in 2007, Tom was commissioned by American Park Network (APN), for whom he has supplied visuals for their many "National Park Books" for more than 10 years, to create oversized images of National Park Landscape locales to 'wrap' both sides of their touring "Photography Workshop" trailer. The seventeen-foot long by five-foot high images imprinted on the trailer featured Yellowstone National Park's Hayden Valley and its buffalo herd on one side, and a large scale view of Yosemite Valley's Half Dome on the other side, including Nevada Falls and the High Sierra. Both high resolution images were from Tom's extensive file of National Park images taken over the last 20 years. Tom was assisted in the preparation of the images by Brian Shore of Total Graphics in Agoura Hills, CA. Brian can be contacted at brian@totalgraphicsus.com. |

March, 2007 - Century City, CA - IDS Real Estate Group, one of California's leading real estate service companies, commissioned Tom Gamache to photograph a twilight view of one of their newest properties - Fox Building #103 at the corner of Avenue of the Stars and Pico Blvd. in Century City. |

Gamache said "Shooting the building to meet the client's expectation was a challenge. They wanted a twilight view to match the project's original artist rendering. The elevation and perspective depicted in the rendering was not achievable from the ground. I shot the building during one of Southern California's beautiful twilights - 20 ft. off the ground. Nature cooperated and gave us a stunning, purple sky which complimented the beautifully designed and illuminated building." |

The image is currently being used in IDS's promotional materials as well as in a mammoth sized print which is on display in both the IDS Headquarters in downtown Los Angeles and in the lobby of the Fox Building. |

"The Santa Monica Mountains", written by Mathew Jaffe, photography by Tom Gamache, was recently published by Angel City Press. Los Angeles Times review... Summary - "The Santa Monica Mountains" is an ambitious book, as sprawling, quirky and varied as the range itself. More than a coffee table book and just short of a travel guide, it's nothing less than a love letter to the wild heart of Los Angeles. Rock and water, fen and glen, red-tailed hawks vying for a meal, every imaginable kind of light — Gamache's lens captures it all. In a particularly stunning shot — at dawn or dusk, it's hard to tell — your eye takes in a steeply tilted landscape. There's the gnarled old tree, a frizz of short, dry grass, then the sudden shock of seeing a coyote calmly staring into the lens, into your eyes, bold and not at all afraid.”
The Santa Monicas are undeniably a range on the edge of the world, welcoming the Pacific into its rocky ridges, almost daring the ocean waves to break at its foothills. The mountains are dotted with mountain lions, bobcats and mule deer, rock singers, movie stars and writers, lilies, oaks and steelhead trout, bikers, hikers and grizzled peaks that seem to kiss the sky. Along the course of its forty-six-mile span, the range encompasses Dodger Stadium, Griffith Park, Laurel and Coldwater canyons, Hollywood, the Hollywood Sign, Beverly Hills, the Getty Museum, Pacific Palisades and Malibu, to name only a few points of iconic interest. And these are mountains that have gone uncelebrated, until now in The Santa Monica Mountains: Range on the Edge, a com-pelling history and commentary by award-winning writer Matthew Jaffe, punctuated with 140 breathtaking photographic pictures captured by renowned landscape art photographer Tom Gamache. This is the definitive biography lovers of the Santa Monica Mountains have been waiting for, the story of a magnificent range on the edge of America's edgiest city. Available through Angel City Press and Barnes & Noble. |
