PostCARDs FRoM thE iRon CAMERA is a new exhibit at the Painted Desert Inn National Historic Landmark in Petrified Forest Na- tional Park. Inspired by their tenure as park artists in residence, Califor- nia artists Kim Garrison and Steve Radosevich set about capturing the landscape with a hand-built cast iron camera.
