Norma Jeane by Richard C. Miller

Phto. digital collection features 100 photographs & negatives from 1946.

LOS ANGELES – October 12, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

In its most anticipated release to date, Phto. — an NFT Fine Art Photography pioneer and industry leader — announced the “Innovation of Influence,” a curated digital collection paying homage to one of the most photographed women in history: Norma Jeane. This historically significant catalog features imagery captured through the lens of legendary photographer Richard C. Miller — the only photographer to photograph the Hollywood icon from the start of her career as Norma Jeane through the end of her career as legendary actress, singer and socialite Marilyn Monroe. 

This extraordinary release of the Norma Jeane collection by Miller, which has been exhibited, collected, and sold by institutions such as the Getty Museum and Christie’s, features fascinating rare images of the storied starlet that will be sold as digital NFT collectibles for the very first time. 

This iconic and incomparable collection includes both photographs and original negatives in which Miller captures Norma Jeane’s transformation from her early years as a shy and unknown 19-year-old rising talent and Armed Forces pinup to America’s beloved actress, singer, and generational-icon Marilyn Monroe. 

Phto. has licensed nearly 100 of these rare photographs and negatives as Limited Edition and 1-of-1 Fine Art Photography NFTs that come complete with a first-of-its-kind, blockchain-native Certificate of Authenticity. Featuring stunning portraits of the would-be superstar as both an ambitious teenager and a Hollywood powerhouse, this vibrant mid-century digital collection will go live for sale on Friday, Oct. 14, on all reputable digital asset marketplaces at a price of approximately $100 USD each. View a preview of the collection at https://www.phto.io/normajeane.

Included within its limited-edition “Innovation of Influence” release, Phto. will also auction a series of 1-of-1 mixed-media and AI collaborations with five renowned Web3 creatives: Claire Silver, Jeremy Cowart, Sara Baumann (aka Sparky), Jeneva and Amber Vittoria. Each artist will place their signature style on a unique photograph from Miller’s collection, further amplifying and exemplifying the capabilities of fine art photography as a digital asset. 

“We are grateful for the opportunity to honor Norma Jeane and Richard C. Miller’s legacies while also furthering the standard for digital ownership and provenance within the world of fine art photography,” said Phto. “It has been a privilege to curate the collection, and we’re elated to bring these rare, historic photographs to an audience of fine art enthusiasts and digital collectors around the globe.”

Renew Missouri Homes Launches to Increase the State’s High-Performing Homes

Renew Missouri Homes Launches to Increase the State’s High-Performing Homes
Introducing Renew Missouri Homes

The Renew Missouri Homes program advances the high-performing homes industry within Missouri, both empowering industry professionals and giving homeowners the certifications they need to validate their home’s increased value.

COLUMBIA, Mo. – October 12, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Renew Missourithe Missouri Department of Natural Resources’ Division of Energy, and Pearl Certification are excited to announce the official launch of the Renew Missouri Homes program.

Renew Missouri Homes, a public-private partnership between Renew Missouri, the Missouri Department of Natural Resources’ Division of Energy, and Pearl Certification, will help ensure that energy-efficient, high-performing homes in Missouri are properly valued when they are sold.

The program makes a home’s high-performing features — like renewables, insulation, efficient heating and cooling systems — visible and engaging to homebuyers through the state’s Missouri Home Energy Certificate, supported by Pearl Certification. The result is that these homes will sell for higher prices — creating a powerful incentive for other Missouri homeowners to improve the performance of their homes by adding energy-efficient features and renewables. 

Homes certified through the Renew Missouri Homes program can also be listed on the Green Building Registry, a national registry for high-performing homes, through a partnership with Earth Advantage.

“The Renew Missouri Homes program is a vital extension of the great work the DNR Division of Energy is doing throughout the state,” said Andy Popp, manager of the Missouri State Energy Program. “This program provides an easy-to-use framework for Missourians to create more comfortable, efficient, and sustainable homes that benefit the entire state.”  

With the launch of Renew Missouri Homes, powered by Pearl, on Oct. 1, 2022, Missouri homeowners now have access to a free homeowner portal called Green Door to build custom plans that organize and track home energy upgrades, schedule regular home maintenance reminders, and connect with vetted contractors to perform energy upgrades. Qualified builders, home improvement contractors, appraisers, and real estate agents who earn admittance into the network gain access to Renew Missouri Homes’ dedicated business development team, committed to helping them grow their businesses through supporting the high-performing home market. Industry professionals can apply to join the Renew Missouri Homes Network on the program’s website. https://renewmohomes.com/

James Owners, Renew Missouri’s executive director, said, “Renew Missouri knows that energy efficiency is the cornerstone of realizing a clean energy future. The Renew Missouri Homes program will be a driving force in making Missouri homes more efficient, save homeowners on their utility bills, and drive energy-efficiency investments across the state. We are honored and proud to have our namesake represent the program as we firmly believe in bringing energy efficiency to all Missourians.”

“Missouri is truly leading the country by launching the Renew Missouri Homes program,” said Robin LeBaron, co-founder and president of Pearl Certification. “We applaud and are thrilled to support the commitment to transforming Missouri communities for generations.”

“Through this groundbreaking program, homeowners will get the tools and resources they need to create homes that are more comfortable, healthy, and sustainable by connecting with our vetted network professionals, who understand how to build, improve, appraise, and sell high-performing homes,” said Cynthia Adams, Pearl’s co-founder and CEO.
