Richard Menzies – Master of Ceremonies – “Welcome to Shooting the West”
(Salt Lake City, Utah)

Menzies returns as moderator to celebrate STW's twentieth year. As usual, he'll hobnob with old friends and stuff himself at various Basque eateries.

Whenever passionate photographers converge, there's never a lack of warmth, wisdom, good conversation, and artistic inspiration."
