Old photos hold key to environmental changes Before and after: A Utah State researcher snaps landscape photos from decades-old viewpoints to get an idea of how time has altered the locations By Joe Baird The Salt Lake Tribune Utah State University researcher Charles Kay is a wildlife ecologist who likes to take pictures. Lots of pictures. Thousands of pictures. And like many artists, Kay has a specialty. In his case, it's landscapes: distant vistas that capture meadows, ridgelines and rock formations. But for every photo he snaps, Kay also collects another. It has to be taken from an identical location, or as close to identical as possible, as the one he shot. And it has to be very old. How old? Early 20th century or even older is ideal. But shots from the 1920s, '30s and '40s will do. Even photos from the early '60s will sometimes suffice. http://www.sltrib.com/ci_2588851 Roy Webb, C.A.
