Salt Lake City
{"Image ImageDescription": "A few months ago I was in Salt Lake City visiting some close friends. I am not Mormon but my ancestors were and so are my close friends. So while there I took the time to visit the temple grounds and took a tour of the convention center. This panorama I took while standing on the convention center roof.   My ancestors were the original settlers of Salt Lake City. So we also visited the cemetery to see where they were buried. Through help from my friends and a little sleuthing we found the graves where my great-great grandparents were buried. They\u2019re in the Salt Lake Cemetery, which is the resting place of many of the original pioneers.   It was for me an amazing experience because I came away learning about my heritage that heretofore I\u2019d only heard from my grandmother before she died. It goes without saying the Mormons are big on ancestry and so they were more than happy to help me fill in the gaps. I am fortunate to have such a recorded history and now that I know a little more I\u2019m eager to share it.   Back home the other day I was taking some photos along the waterfront. Two Mormon missionaries approached me and rather than ignore them I engaged them in conversation. I pulled out my iPhone and shared this photo and told them about my experience and ancestors. They seemed genuinely surprised to meet me and equally happy to see a picture of their main temple. It was a fun encounter. While I am not planning to convert to the Mormon faith, there are many things we share in common. And for that connection and fellowship I am truly grateful.", "Image Make": "SONY", "Image Model": "ILCE-7RM2", "Image XResolution": "600", "Image YResolution": "600", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Inch", "Image Software": "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 6.12 (Macintosh)", "Image DateTime": "2017:08:22 08:30:46", "Image Artist": "Rick Schwartz", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered", "Image Copyright": "2017 Rick Schwartz & JustEnoughFocus.com", "Image ExifOffset": "1894", "GPS GPSVersionID": "[2, 3, 0, 0]", "GPS GPSLatitudeRef": "N", "GPS GPSLatitude": "[40, 46, 19]", "GPS GPSLongitudeRef": "W", "GPS GPSLongitude": "[111, 53, 31]", "GPS GPSAltitude": "196831/147", "Image GPSInfo": "2296", "EXIF ExposureTime": "1/5000", "EXIF ExposureProgram": "Aperture Priority", "EXIF ISOSpeedRatings": "250", "EXIF ExifVersion": "0230", "EXIF DateTimeOriginal": "2017:06:18 18:52:02", "EXIF DateTimeDigitized": "2017:06:18 18:52:02", "EXIF ComponentsConfiguration": "YCbCr", "EXIF ApertureValue": "24361/8200", "EXIF ExposureBiasValue": "0", "EXIF MeteringMode": "Pattern", "EXIF LightSource": "Unknown", "EXIF Flash": "Flash did not fire, compulsory flash mode", "EXIF FocalLength": "35", "EXIF SubSecTimeOriginal": "1", "EXIF SubSecTimeDigitized": "1", "EXIF FlashPixVersion": "0100", "EXIF ColorSpace": "sRGB", "EXIF ExposureMode": "Auto Exposure", "EXIF WhiteBalance": "Auto", "EXIF DigitalZoomRatio": "1", "EXIF SceneCaptureType": "Standard", "EXIF Contrast": "Normal", "EXIF Saturation": "Normal", "EXIF Sharpness": "Normal", "EXIF LensModel": "FE 35mm F2.8 ZA"}
