Andy...you put it short and sweet! Besides my disappointment and

anger, I am feeling duped! Only a few years back was my first trip

to Utah, and the delightful trip through Fatali's gallery. I was

literally in awe of his pictures...most specifically his lighting.

It was almost angelic in many of his pictures and there was plenty

of "no filters used" on many of the pictures. I was fortunate enough

in the following years to experience the slot canyons, view Bryce and

wonder at Arches. And through it all, the spectacularness of his

photos stayed in my mind as I saw MY pictures as a distinct contrast

of indistinguishable dark and bright! What disappoints the most is

that I had such respect for the man...how could you take such lovely

photos and inspire such feeling if you did not love and respect the

landscape? That is why the "act" is in such contrast to the "image"

he portrays. And also the question in puts to mind as to how all of

his shots have been achieved. Definitely more than a seed of

doubt.....

Dan,

You seem to have covered all the bases for what should be done to

understand what truly happened. However, I disagreed in the past and

still do that we are missing the point!!!!

Breaking the law where it doesn't impact other people is

a "mistake". Breaking the law where it damages a natural wonder

(regardless of your perspective on how it is used in the state for

political reasons) is more than that. It is your approach to life,

your comment on responsibility, it is your character!! That is the

piece that is disturbing because if you have it in you to do it in

the first place, then it will rear its ugly head again.
