Show J WEEKLY REFLEX DAVIS NEWS JOURNAL, JUNE 28, 1979 Kaysville photographer Glen T. Brown seems to have a flare with a camera, having won numerous awards in TOP PHOTOGRAPHER By TOM BUSSELBERG - A mounKAYSVILLE tain, a stream and a sunset can all be prime material for a photographer. AND ONE photographer who takes advantage of such natural phenomena in a winning way is Kaysville resident Glen Thomas Brown, who operates his own photography business. A specialist in outdoor photography, he has recently garnered several top awards at the Intermountain Regional Photographers Association Convention in Salt Lake City. He received the Best in Show trophy awarded by choice of all photographers in attendance. It was selected from hundreds of pictures exhibited. In addition, he was awarded a first place trophy in the mens portraiture division. WHILE THAT alone might prove impressive to many, Mr. Brown also had aJL six of his photograph entries accepted into the print show, the maximum allowed. Those entries are scored points and one of his portraits earned the highest total points for any print entered in that compe- tition for the past several years. Mr. Brown has been immersed in photography for about ten years and claims that while he didnt own a camera when young, he often would recall vivid colorful dreams. They were so deeply implanted in his mind that he wanted to record them with a camera. THAT LED to his first camera, an old Rolli that he got his hands on back in 1970. To aid him in his pursuit, he took most of the photography classes offered at Weber State College, where he says they motivated him to jump right in and shoot a lot of pictures and gain experience from there. He started with sunsets and other nature scenes and hasn't stopped for a breather since, expanding his horizons to a portraiture specialty, around which he centers his professional pursuits. MR. BROWN has accumulated some 30,000 slides, many of which look more real than life itself because of a new laser process he has utilized in some printing. A Florida laboratory has the laser equipment. It scans the picture for density and the computer corrects for color errors. Colors look basically the same as normal reproduction CONTINUOUS OFTEN HIS best pictures are taken at the spur of the minute. He recalls a time when he was due at a photographers convention but forgot a time deadline to take what turned into a 30x40 inch snow scene on 2nd North near his home. Mr. Brown likes to use the whole outdoors as his studio and takes most of his portrait shots with a live backdrop. I probably take more outdoor brides than anyone," he says. I usually shoot later in the day and know when the lights good and how to shoot with the light. THROW IT AWAY HE OPERATES his photography business from his home but uses the out-doo- rs over an indoor studio whenever possible. Before getting heavily involved in photography, he was a hardhitting musician with talents ranging from composing to playing drums and other percussion instruments, along with piano. IT (HIS iqusic involvement) got fanatical, he recalls. Then it got to the point there was no way I could spread time around to everything I wanted to do. But still another factor caused him to alter his sights. I became disillusioned. In the music industry people end up trying to be musicians for - the wrong reason for glory, etc. He attributes two major factors to changing direction to the world of pictures. For scenics, I just was basically interested in art and used to draw. So I just shot a lot (of photos). I got a lot of help in the portrait area when I attended national conventions. If I can work with one of the tops in the country theyre so quick and good. IF you see someone jumping a fence and franwith tically running SO something in his hand, its probably Mr. Brown hauling his camera to the scene of what will become another memorable picture for all posterity to see.
