DESCRIPTION:The Grand  Canyon is wild and unforgiving. But it is also one
  of the most stunning landscapes on Earth&mdash\;a place for recreation\
 , reflection and reverence. A new Smithsonian exhibition allows us to ma
 rvel at this natural wonder without camping equipment\, emergency ration
 s or rappelling ropes.\nFeaturing 60 color photographs\, &ldquo\;Lasting
  Light: 125 Years of Grand Canyon Photography&rdquo\; is a collaboration
  between the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service and th
 e Grand Canyon Association. The exhibition will be on view at the Museum
  from October 13\, 2012 through January 5\, 2013\, and will continue on 
 a national tour through the remainder of the year.\n&ldquo\;Lasting Ligh
 t&rdquo\; reveals the dedication of those who have attempted to capture 
 the Grand  Canyon on film from the earliest days to modern times. Coveri
 ng nearly 125 years of photographic history\, the exhibition includes im
 ages of early photographers dangling from cables to get the perfect shot
 \, their cumbersome camera equipment balanced precariously on their shou
 lders. More modern images are bold and dramatic\, revealing the canyon&r
 squo\;s capricious weather\, its flora and fauna\, waterfalls and wading
  pools\, and awe-inspiring cliffs and rock formations. The stunning cont
 emporary images were selected by representatives from Eastman Kodak&rsqu
 o\;s Professional Photography Division and National Geographic.\nGrand C
 anyon National Park\, 2\,000 square miles of snaking river beds and shee
 r rock walls\, is a world like no other\, where vibrant cliffs and flowi
 ng water create a striking complement to the Western sky. &ldquo\;What y
 ou do is keep it for your children\, your children&rsquo\;s children\, a
 nd for all who come after you\, as one of the great sights which every A
 merican should see\,&rdquo\; Teddy Roosevelt urged. Roosevelt\, ever the
  naturalist\, was just one of the canyon&rsquo\;s devotees. There are mi
 llions of others\, including the 26 featured photographers of &ldquo\;La
 sting Light\,&rdquo\; who ran the river and climbed the rocks to capture
  these breathtaking images.\n&nbsp\;&ldquo\;The Grand  Canyon taught me 
 a way of seeing. How to see light and design\,&rdquo\; said featured pho
 tographer John Blaustein. This and other intriguing narratives accompany
  the spectacular photographs\, giving audiences the artists&rsquo\; pers
 onal insight into the power of the Canyon.
