Salt Lake Impressions
photographs by Scott T. Smith and Stephen Trimble
foreword by Holly Mullen
"A book that promises to deliver a city’s “impressions” must somehow capture the history, beauty, work, play, and pride of its people. Pulling this off would be the measure of its success. Trimble and Smith have done it. They have captured Salt Lake: its solemnity, its humor, its bright neighborhoods, its brilliant winters, and the clean lines of the mountains that surround it." —Holly Mullen, from the foreword
"A superbly compiled and presented collection...a visual celebration of Salt Lake City, the capital city of Utah, and the Great Salt Lake basin and surrounding Wasatch Mountains. A remarkable album of photographs, many of which rise to the level of visual art. Browsing through the pages of Salt Lake Impressions is the next best thing to actually being there." —Midwest Book Review
This book shows a Salt Lake City and its surrounding landscape of mountains and desert that represents both the destination seen by tourists and the community lived in by residents. As photographers, Scott and Steve have an eye for the unique and iconic. As Utah residents, they know about neighborhoods and secret glens of open space and tucked-away installations of public art. It’s a winning combination.
Longtime local journalist Holly Mullen provides a witty and pointed introduction to this affectionate photographic tribute to a great American city.
