Having lived quite a few places such as the Puget Sound, the Cascade Mountains, the Oregon Coast, the Sonoran Desert, and traveled quite extensively in the Western U. S., I find N. Utah to be somewhat sterile in comparison.
I recently did a web search looking for SLC photos and came up virtually empty handed for interesting photos. Lots of photos of buildings downtown but not much else. Perhaps you can direct me to a gallery/website that might enlighten me.
As far as classes, I have a degree in Photography and worked in the field for a number of years as a commercial photographer, wedding photographer, forensic/crime lab photographer and sports cinematographer. I have also spent a fair amount of time in a commercial lab.
I was simply looking for local insight and perhaps some friendly assistance from fellow Utah APUGgers, but perhaps this is expecting too much, not being a native Utahn?
'nuff said.

In case anyone is interested, Evilhomer, Hermit, and I will be meeting at the Golden Spike Visitors Center around 5 pm today, and will probably be heading towards the Spiral Jetty. I've never been there, so I'm looking forward to it. It looks to be a nice cool day today, so feel free to join us!

Fred,
You could literally spend days shooting in the Logan Canyon alone, in Northern Utah. Or take a hike up into Dry Canyon, there are gorgeous rock formations there. I'm not a native Utahn, originally from Chicago and spent some time in Calif., VA and Maine, but I find people to be of abundant help.

Wow, this sounds pretty neat. I just became a member a couple days ago and only now found this thread, but this sounds cool. Maybe next time for me though.

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to report that yesterday we all had a wonderful time out at the Spiral Jetty. I should have planned more time there, but now I know what's there and we're hoping to make another trip sometime soon. Chris and I drove up and met Jay and Monte, who shared with us some other locations to shoot, showed us a beautiful (really beautiful) collection of prints, cyanotypes, salt prints, and tintypes, showed us their gorgeous cameras, their collodian process and their tintype process, AND took a tintype portrait of us, AND let us keep it, AND shared dinner with us, AND shared fresh garden greens and vegetables with us, AND showed us more hospitality than I ever would have expected from two strangers. It was a lovely day, and I'm so happy we went, and met Jay and Monte! Hopefully sometime I'll be able to get to the lab and print, and scan some shots from that day. I also hope that someday I can return their generous hospitality!
