Photographer: Anne Lohr, Tacoma, Washington Image Title: Utah Aspen Grove Category: Landscape   Technical Details: Nikon N70, 28-80 zoom lens, Fuji 200 Print film Location: Dixie National Forest, Southwestern Utah Description: Contrasting black and white trunks of these Quaking Aspen and the rich, golden grass form a pattern of simple beauty on a late October afternoon. This grove is located in the Dixie National Forest of Southwestern Utah and is from a single root system, which can cover many acres. In Utah and many other areas of the United States, Aspen groves have been in decline. Ongoing studies are being conducted to discover why these groves are declining and what can be done to help reverse this trend.   Anne Lohr was raised in various locations throughout the western United States. As a child, she was very inquisitive and her father started her on a lifelong path of discovery of the wonders of the earth and photography. Anne studied Studio Art at Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas and has worked in the photo industry for over 15 years. Today she and her husband Rob, a wilderness ranger and fellow photographer, are residents of the Puget Sound area of Washington State.   Anne feels photography compliments her fascination of geology and flora. In addition to color photography, she enjoys experimenting with alternative processes in the darkroom. She hopes her images will entice people to stop and take notice of simple moments. Anne is an avid wilderness hiker and practices "Leave No Trace" ethics.   Anne Lohr Phone: 253-627-4942 E-mail: arlohr@redjellyfish.net   Return to 2003 Galleries | Return to 2003 Landscape Gallery     Home | Contact Us | Copyright
