This was the view three hours ago as we looked for the perfect spot to photograph the valley for sunset. Earlier in the day I met a fellow photographer and we ended up spending the entire day together, making my time in the park that much more enjoyable. We talked shop of course, and shared stories regarding our work. We spent two hours at this very spot, taking it all in and waiting for the shadows to start walking further and further on the floor of the valley. The space is truly humbling, incredibly spiritual.

This weekend is being spent in one of the most beautiful places in Utah. Being assigned to Salt Lake City for two months has its silver lining, as its landscapes are incredibly sublime. Every weekend will be spent in a different national park, and hopefully the weather will hold up for my stay.This image was made towards the end of my time in the park this afternoon, and makes me look forward to tomorrow's adventures even more so. Tomorrow will be completely spent in this park, and I will walk to the famous arches for more intimate images.

Yesterday was absolutely sublime. My drive to the Bonneville Salt Flats took my breath away. An hour or so away from Salt Lake City, the scene becomes almost lunar in appearance, with beautiful peaks to the distance in both directions. The land extending from the freeway to the peaks seemed to go on forever, and looked impossibly flat.In some areas the dry land gave way to water as still as glass, like in this image. It seemed to perfect to be true, and my eyes had a hard time maintaining focus on the road. Everyone told me to go in the other direction towards the trees and green landscape. Something however pulled me this way.
Here is a digital snapshot of this region, until the film is processed.

Since my trip to Lebanon had to be cancelled for the sake of work, it was time to look for the silver lining. That lining was the location of my work, Salt Lake City. With me to Utah this past weekend came my camera, and plenty of film.
So today I headed west and found this beautiful lake, certainly familiar to everyone in this region. It is my first venture into the landscape, and I cannot wait to visit the national parks over the next two months.
While I was there, an older man noticed my camera and stopped to say hello. He was into his ninth decade, and his family had lived in this region for the last three generations, since the late 1800's!
He told me about the lake, and how it is a shell of what it used to be during his childhood. He pointed to the previous shoreline, and went on to tell me how he had come here with his family as a child. He pointed to the sailboats sitting in the parking lot, and told me that when they had taken them out two years ago they thought that the boats would go right back in the next year. Yet, there they sat while we chatted for some time.
This is the memory which will come to mind when the film is processed, and when I look through the negatives for the perfect frame to print soon.
