SNAPPED — We are lucky to enjoy beautiful scenes of nature and a vibrant community throughout Summit and Wasatch County. Today’s story will be the first of what will be a weekly publication showcasing images taken by our community. The images might include wildlife, landscapes, urban environments, fine art and others. Each week TownLift will choose up to ten images from the submissions sent to us and showcase them in a story on TownLift and our social media pages.
Please send your photo and a brief description of what the photo is, where it was taken, and your name. If you have a fun story to go along with it, please include it.
Like many transplants to Utah, Kevin started his journey to Park City as a ski instructor in 2014 and fell in love with the mountains enough to stay. A skier since the age of 2 and a half, he still gets excited about carving turns down the slopes and hopping into the powder on snow days.
Kevin's passion for storytelling and photography led him to a second bachelor's degree focused on communications and fine art photography from the University of Utah. Paired with his first undergrad in ecology from Oklahoma State University, Kevin particularly enjoys writing environmental and nature stories. In his spare time, you can usually find him in his jeep looking for wildlife and landscapes to photograph.
