I think that one of the most beautiful places to photograph in Utah is the Great Salt Lake. Because of this, it always amazes me to hear that people who have lived in Utah for a decent amount of time, have never visited it. Just the other day, a friend of mine said that he had never been and he has lived here his entire life. He said it has no appeal to him.
For me, the Great Salt Lake has been a place for picnics and numerous other adventures growing up. Anytime I have free time to go and photograph, I usually end up at some part of the lake. The purpose behind my final project is to show that there is appeal to this unique landscape and that it really is an interesting landscape that you can't find anywhere else.

your pictures are sooo pretty! :) I always end up at Utah lake early in the morning on phototrips... I might have to branch out and try the big lake soon though! :)
ReplyDeleteAmaaazing colors. The sweatshirt photo is so eerie. I love the "fort" photo and the remnants of the train tracks. Amazing and eerie as well.
ReplyDeleteGo UTAH! I like your idea because Utah does rock, all you have to do it leave your house. The kayaking picture is awesome because the people are so small and it shows the vastness of Utah and the GSL.
ReplyDeleteMy sincerest compliments: I would hang these in my home.
ReplyDeleteI really love the colors here, as well as the solitude. It seems like you picked the perfect time of day for some of these photos
ReplyDeleteBy the way... I noticed these are the same as your exhibit in the HFAC and wanted to say great job! they look really good hanging up in there... I really enjoyed looking at them.
ReplyDeleteI've honestly never thought of that as beautiful. You certainly showed me otherwise!
ReplyDeleteIt show a rare, desolate beauty that is unique to Utah. Great pictures
