To illustrate these sometimes drastic, sometimes subtle differences, Tom searched the state to locate the exact same spots from which to re-photograph the scenes captured by his predecessors. The results of this project evoke both hope and despair, enlightenment and discouragement. We see parts of Utah that have persevered-the red rock canyons of Arches National Park and the towering spires of Canyonlands National Park-alongside images of sprawl and development. Tom Till's photography is accompanied by the thoughtful and endearing text of Ted Wilson, former mayor of Salt Lake City. Ted provides the reader with historical background to better understand the changes portrayed in the photographs, as well as personal anecdotes and the perspectives of fellow Utahans who have also watched the state change so dramatically throughout their lives. Utah: Then & Now not only illuminates Utah's past but also provides food for thought about its direction in the future. | | |
