Judy Kiel took the photograph featured on this year’s cover of the Southern Utah News Vacation Guide. She stands here holding a copy of the guide and her $100 prize for the winning image. “In my photographs, my vision is to blend the journalistic with the artistic. I am very interested in the ‘place,’ rather than the ‘who’ as I believe that place is the quiet landscape I love,” says Kiel. Photo by Brooke Knighton.
