The Story behind the project
During the early 90's Kenny McKendry was commissioned to illustrate 13 images for a series of Steinbeck Novels being re-released in the UK at that time.
In March 2005 whilst recovering from a life saving operation, Kenny started to read other Steinbeck novels and was inspired to recreate the main characters. These 7 images together with the 13 original, form the set of 20 now on release as limited edition prints.

New Light Editions Selects Innova’s FibaPrint Paper for Box set
New Light Editions, a provider of signed, limited edition fine art photography, has selected Innova Digital Art’s FibaPrint paper for producing the prints for Douglas Menuez’ box set “Transcendent Spirit: Orphans of Uganda.” The prints, a selection of images from his book by the same name, depict a group of orphans in Uganda, a country wracked by AIDS, war and poverty. A number of the children comprise the dance troop named “Spirit of Uganda,” that tours the world raising money for their fellow orphans and creating awareness of their plight.
“Initially I was skeptical that a digital print process could meet the standard of quality I required for these images,” said Menuez. “I felt a deep responsibility to capture the essential experience of the children’s lives. As always, taking the photograph is half the work. To fully express the images, I knew the final prints would need to surpass the standard technical limits of tone and color and deliver a breakthrough in quality. I'm very proud to present these exquisite prints from New Light Editions which I'm pleased to say exceeded all my expectations. The Innova paper produces images of unsurpassed quality, not just for digital prints but also for any printing method. And its archival properties match those of virtually any other photographic medium.
Menuez’ work and the book were underwritten by Macy’s West and featured at Macy’s Passport XXV event, an annual fundraiser founded by Dame Elizabeth Taylor to support the fight against HIV/AIDS. The event is now in its 25th year and has raised over $25 million to date.
Innova, New Light Editions and Canon have also provided generous support. In addition to donating several box sets and individual prints to help raise money
at the Macy’s Passport XXV event, a portion of the proceeds from the sale of every print benefits Empower African Children, and non-profit that provides major support for the orphans of Uganda.
