I love featuring the work of Utah’s talented photographers. Today’s article highlights the work of Utah photographer Robert Martin, who was kind enough to give us a sneak peak of his upcoming exhibit, "Episodes: Salt Lake City."
Robert captured 16 amazing photos over the course of a year, all from the same vantage point in Salt Lake. This is just a sample — to see the exhibit with all 16 photos, visit the Gallery at Library Square (SLC Main Library Level 4) from November 21st through January 8th.
Join Robert for the opening reception on Saturday, November 21st from 4:00 to 5:30 p.m.
The photos from the exhibit (as well as prints) are all available for purchase. Learn more about Robert Martin and his work by visiting his website: www.rubberlabelphoto.com
I can't wait to see the other six photos at the opening reception on Saturday, November 21st, but so far my favorite is Episode 16. Which is your favorite? Tell us in the comments!
Here in Utah, we know a thing or two about fickle weather. It’s not uncommon to bundle up in snow gear in the morning and dress down in shorts and sandals by dinner time. Fortunately, there are many places in the Beehive State for you to explore no matter what the weather is outside. One of our favorites is the Monte L. Bean Life Science Museum in Provo. This unique museum in Utah is perfect for the entire family and you’ll want to give yourself plenty of time to explore. You never know what incredible things you will see and learn here.
