It is interesting to watch the Downtown Rising project come into existence. I am looking forward to seeing more and more of the project completed over the next two years.

Great photo Kirk!April 1, 2010 – 12:41 pm
Hey Kirk, Jim wants to know what camera you used for this one?April 10, 2010 – 7:38 am
Julie, This was shot with my D300, but what he really wants to know is how this shot was done. I was using what is called a tilt and shift lens. It is made to correct distortion in perspective, like in architectural photography. But it can also be used for distorting perspective too and that is what I did here. That is what gives it the compressed look. It is a fun lens.April 12, 2010 – 9:20 pm
A couple local photographers put this video together and just posted it online. They did such a fantastic job. I haven’t been downtown to see it, but I am pretty excited about everything that is happening down there.

Where is this skybridge and what buildings is it connecting? the only thing I am confused about it that it said the skybridge had a clearance of 1 ft.March 25, 2010 – 9:32 pm
The sky bridge is over main street and between where Crossroads Mall and the ZCMI Center use to be. They removed those buildings and are building huge residential/commercial towers. The sky bridge will connect the two buildings down the road.
I think the 1 foot clearance that they refer to is the extra room between the two buildings. Meaning 6 inches on either side. Pretty impressive, I think.March 26, 2010 – 9:18 am
Thanks for explaining. Calgary has those all around downtown so you don’t have to go outside to get to most of the buildings downtown. It gets pretty cold in the winter some weeks so it is nice to not have to go outside.March 26, 2010 – 10:08 pm
Very cool! Minneapolis and St. Paul also have miles of sky bridges so that we can survive the brutal winters.March 27, 2010 – 9:12 pm
Great video. I can’t believe how Salt Lake keeps changing.March 28, 2010 – 6:42 pm
