The Lost City Museum presents the photography of artists Scott Simper and William Mazzanti in the exhibition “The Living Desert.” The duo will be exhibiting samples of their work at the museum from June 3 to June 27, 2010. The photographs featured in this show portray a great variety of subjects. Wild and imaginative rock formations, the burst of color that arrives with the blooming of spring flowers, are all captured for the viewer’s enjoyment of the show. “This June exhibit will brighten your day and remind you of the beauty of nature during a time of year when the desert gives up its secrets and springs to life,” says Jesse Davie, Museum Attendant. |

Scott Simper moved to Nevada in 1992 from Vernal, Utah. He enjoys being out in nature and spends his spare time helping with the Boy Scout program. Hiking, camping and fishing are among his hobbies however his real passion is photography. “I am never without my camera and gear hoping to capture the perfect image,” Simper said.
William Mazzanti has loved photography since he received his first camera in 1965. He grew up on air force bases throughout the United States and Europe and began photographing airplanes on the flight line. After serving eight years in the Navy as a mechanic, he separated from the service and returned home to Las Vegas. “In the last five years I have begun to enjoy a growing love of nature and landscape photography,” Mazzanti says. The Lost City Museum is open Thursday through Sunday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Regular admission charge is $5.00 for adults, children under 18 and members enter free.
