Impressionist Photographs representing the history of
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

Many of these photographs were displayed during my solo exhibits at the Springville Museum of Art and the Nauvoo Visitors Center to commemorate the 200th Anniversary of Joseph Smith's birth. I have photographed LDS historical sites for over 55 years, and have tried to express my feelings about the restored Gospel and its effect on the members of the Church. I have found that the Impressionist approach to photography best expresses those feelings . -- DON O. THORPE
