The Wasatch Camera Club’s tour of the Escalante Area with James Kay was nothing short of spectacular. Trips into Willow Gulch, Calf Creek Falls, Devil’s Garden and out to Sunset Arch delivered rich opportunities for once in a lifetime photographs. James was available and helpful with numerous tips and techniques about camera settings, types of light and composition. As well, he had encyclopedic knowledge of the geology and its ancient history. 
Altered Reality is new to the club’s competitions, but it has been around photography since 1857. Known more commonly as photomontage or photo compositing it typically takes multiple images and combines them for a new image that may or may not seek to look “real.”

“New Topography: A Paradigm Shift”
A presentation by Lewis Crawford
In January 1975, a small but important exhibition, curated by William Jenkins, opened at the George Eastman House in Rochester, NY, entitled New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-Altered Landscape. Documenting landscape and a human involvement with a space, the photographs depict industrial warehouses, suburban tract housing, trailer parks and inner city streets in a mapped, gritty and honest way, all sans people. Landscape was no longer the sublime imagery found in an Ansel Adams photograph; it had become methodical and clinical. The influence of academia is evident within the show; most were college-trained artists or taught at universities, a first for a major photographic exhibition. By examining images, discussing the artists and curator, the lecture will explore their influences upon contemporary landscape imagery, photographic education and some of today’s top photographers.
Lewis J. Crawford is a fourth generation Arizona native and second generation Arizona artist. All though he still considers Prescott, AZ his hometown, he currently lives in Salt Lake City, UT and is an Associate Instructor for the University of Utah. In 2009, he earned a MFA in photography from the University of Utah and in 2005, a BFA in photography from Arizona State University graduating Summa Cum Laude. He has had solo shows in Tempe, AZ, Salt Lake City, UT and Ogden, UT. He has shown internationally and numerously within the United States. His work combines digital technology, antiquated photographic processes and print making to create what he defines as factitious imagery.
