His two large, apocalyptic photographs, &#8220;Doubting Thomas&#8221; and &#8220;St. Francis,&#8221; (see video below) are the first things visitors see at Artists of Utah&#8217;s 35 x 35 exhibition at Finch Lane Gallery (which closes this Friday, November 6). They are part of a larger suite of related photographs that will be on display at Ogden&#8217;s Universe City in December. This month the same gallery will include his pieces in a group exhibition of small works that opens on Friday, November 6.
