Most Wanted Rock™, a sandstone formation at Devil's Garden in Escalante, Utah, that resembles a human profile, photographed by Jennifer for UTAZNM

Naming a formation that keeps changing

One sandstone profile at Devil's Garden in Escalante, Utah, became Most Wanted Rock™—and a reminder that people rarely see the same thing twice.

Every UTAZNM design begins with an original photograph of a real place. At Devil's Garden in Escalante, Utah, a formation in warm sandstone caught Jennifer’s eye for how strongly it reads as a profile in silhouette.

The working name became Most Wanted Rock™—less a final verdict than an invitation. When Jennifer asked what people saw, answers ranged from faces and characters to memories, humor, and quiet associations no stock image could provoke.

That exchange is the heart of What Do You See?™: a real place, an original photograph, and room for your interpretation.

America 250 Utah landmark sticker designs inspired by original UTAZNM landscape photography

Metate Arch in morning light

A quiet arch visit became part of the America 250 landscape-story series—rooted in place before it becomes a design.

Metate Arch sits inside a landscape that rewards slow looking: layered stone, open sky, and the kind of scale that makes everyday noise feel far away.

Jennifer photographed the arch as part of the America 250 series—place-led work that treats Utah landmarks as stories worth carrying, not icons to rush past.

The photograph stays close to what was there: natural color, real texture, and the atmosphere of being on the ground in southern Utah.

When a rock reads like motion

Some formations feel like characters mid-scene. This one became a study in how imagination meets geology.

Desert stone often rewards a second look. From one angle, a formation can suggest movement, personality, or a story waiting for a title.

Jennifer’s Devil’s Rock Locomotive photograph is part of that practice: photograph first, interpret later, and let the place stay honest.

It is the kind of image UTAZNM was built around—original, place-rooted, and impossible to fake with generic desert stock.
