After 59 years, we will be closing down the storefront portion of our operations, as I am semi-retiring. I will continue to do some services, as listed below, and will do pickup and delivery for these services.
Services we will still offer:
1. Commercial and fine art printing.
2. Services for artists and other clients that currently work with us will continue.
3. Videotape to DVD or digital files services will still be offered.
5. Volume scanning of prints and slides will still be accepted, depending on the project.
5. Printing of photo exhibits and portfolios.
For those of our customers whom we will no longer be able to accommodate, our entire family thanks you for your years of support.
As of January 1, 2025, we are now officially up and running from Covington. Although we don't have a storefront, we go to the New Orleans area every Thursday to pick up or drop off work. Please call or text 504-486-5811 for details.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR YOU?
---There will be no physical storefront to drop off and pick up orders.
If you have videotapes or items that need scanning for example, we will be coming to New Orleans each Thursday and arranging to meet with customers wherever they need to either pickup jobs or deliver completed services.
--- For those who live or work on the NorthShore, specifically Mandeville, Covington, Madisonville, Folsom or Abita Springs, arrangements can be made to meet you on the north shore so you do not need to travel into New Orleans. Those meetings would not have to be on Thursdays.
---We will no longer be doing consumer 4x6, 5x7 printing, no restoration or enhancing, or print to print.
---We do welcome and are interested in doing large print jobs such as hotels, hospitals, exhibitions, etc. If you have never worked with us before and are interested in one of these, please email Robert at contact@moldaners.com.
Past Projects
In recent years, we have begun specializing in the printing of numerous photographic art exhibits. We will soon be adding a gallery section of some of our projects, to give you a better idea of just what we have to offer in digital printing services.
Starting in 2019, we've become the preferred printer for Where Y'Art's art consulting division, doing archival print, fine art print and canvas prints for most of the new Ochsner clinics and Hospitals in the state.
In 2019, we also printed the artwork for the new Residence Inn on St. Charles Ave, which featured over 200 13 ft long pieces on adhesive fabric.
In 2016, we printed all the artwork for the brand new VA Medical Center complex in New Orleans. This included over 1700 images, of which over 100 were canvas pieces. We also printed the artwork for a Homewood Suites in the CBD, as well as the restoration of the Jung Hotel.
In 2015, we took on one of our most ambitious print projects: A 30-foot reproduction of an ancient 14th-century Codex that is part of the The Latin American Library's Special Collections. It was printed on an adhesive fabric material and is now installed in the Reading Room of the library, on the 4th floor of Tulane's Howard-Tilton Memorial Library. (Image at right)
In previous years, we have printed exhibits that have hung in The New Orleans Museum of Art (" Ancestors and Descendants " - George H. Pepper exhibit), The Collins C. Diboll Gallery ( " In theBlink of an Eye " - Harold Baquet exhibit) at Loyola University's Monroe Library, and The Latin American Library gallery ("Encounters with Antiquity" - Roxanne Davila exhibit) at Tulane University's Tilton Library. We also completed an exhibit that was part of the citywide "¡Sí Cuba!" exhibit in January of 2010.
In addition, we have been involved in ongoing scanning/archiving and restoration projects for the Middle American Research Institute, the Tulane Law School, and the Tulane School of Architecture. Some of these include archiving and reproducing images from glass Lantern Slides, nitrate negatives and 200-year old books.
Previously, we completed a 30,000 slide archiving project for a history professor/archaelogist at Tulane University.
Edward H. Moldaner, Jr. 1932-2014
I am saddened to announce the passing of my father, Edward H. Moldaner, Jr. on June 22, 2014. He was 81. He founded Moldaners Photo Service Inc in 1965, which eventually became Moldaner's Camera Store, Inc. He has been our inspiration all these years, and he will be missed.
Moldaner's Digital Imaging and Archiving will no longer have an open storefront as of 12/13/2024. Please contact us via email at contact@moldaners.com for questions on how to access our services.
