Utah Arts Festival 2012

Every summer I make sure I find the time to hit up some key downtown festivals.  And with Fall's entrance upon us, I'm being reminded of all the summertime fun times I need to get caught up on as far as blogging is concerned.  So here's a little bit of a couple of months ago for you.

As you've already seen, I always enjoy my visit to the Living Traditions Festival.  I also have a great time heading over to the Alternative Press Festival (post pending).  But, somewhere in between the two, I try to find some time to make my way through the Utah Arts Festival.  Here are some shots of a few things that caught my eye (with permission from the artists) during this year's fest.

Here are a few more shots I grabbed during the event.  I spent some time watching the sand artist at work.  I've never been much of a sculptor, and I'm always so intrigued by the ability of some to create such beautiful work with their hands.  The Arts Festival also has a great children's arts area.

Here's to more summertime posts!

P.S.  My super secret spy-lens ended up making it's first public debut at the Utah Arts Festival.  Here are a few more of my attempts at shooting with this awesome lens.
