As a photographer based in Utah, I get to experience some of the most stunning landscapes on a daily basis. The geologic features found in and around Utah are unparallelled. To be able to wander and explore in these lands is a gift, but one that comes with some responsibility as well. Working to protect our public lands is part of my job, as it should be for everyone who uses them. It is with respect and gratitude for the land and the people who lived here long before me, that I do what I do. Â
