​Photography by the Wasatch Camera Club
In May we celebrate the 150th year of the completing of the transcontinental railroad.  That event not only transformed passenger travel and commerce, but also gave the nation a source of pride and optimism about its future.  It lifted hundreds of thousands from poverty and imprinted generations with a can-do spirit that is still with us today.
With Promontory Summit within the state’s boundaries it is entirely fitting that the Utah Cultural Celebration Center present an exhibit of railroad photography titled, Beauty, Brawn, Commerce & Travel: Photography of U.S. Railroads. The exhibit will share approximately 30 railroad images taken by Utah photographers that capture a variety of dramatic moments of railroads past and present.

The Utah Travels photo exhibit showcases the remarkable photographic images captured by Utahn’s during their diverse travel experiences.  The exhibit allows an opportunity for professional and amateur photographers of all ages to publicly present their most distinct travel photos and to share the stories of their experiences with a short descriptive paragraph.  Images may represent destinations thousands of miles away or a few miles from home.  These photos reflect the beauty, richness and diversity of people, events, nature, culture and all that celebrates humanity and planet earth.  The Utah Cultural Celebration Center is pleased to welcome the Wasatch Camera Club to this year’s Utah Travels photography exhibition.
