about The Exhibit
The 'Grand Canyon Photographs' is an exhibit celebrating the Centennial Anniversary of Grand Canyon National Park. The park was established on February 26, 1919. This exhibit features traditional Black and White photographs, color photographs, and some very unique hand-tinted color photographs... reminiscent of the vintage look of early hand-colored photography, common from the mid 19th century till the mid 20th century.
This photography exhibit will also feature some interesting 'vintage looking' panoramic images shot on film, as well as some night photography shot with modern digital equipment. In addition to the traditional and contemporary still photography, a large 4K digital monitor will play a looping time-lapse video that compresses the ever changing light, hues, and weather of the majestic Grand Canyon into several minutes of immersive video.

“Already a gifted and accomplished photographer, Mark Burns... has devoted five years of his life to studying and then traveling to all 59 of America’s national parks to photograph them in timeless black and white, as a celebration of the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service.
Along the way, Mark has become a learned historian and meteorologist - able to follow the moon phases with the best of them. He also clearly mastered the medium of black and white photography. And, in my view, he has earned distinction as a modern-day Ansel Adams.”
