From Chris Schiller
Chris Schiller has been granted the prestigious Oliver Award by the American Rock Art Research Association (ARARA). This award recognizes excellence in the art and science of photography in the service of the study and appreciation of rock art. The theme for 2026 was Effort, and Chris' entry included the following anecdote to support the theme:
The search for this petroglyph panel started with an article in the Deseret News. The article showed the panel, along with some photos of the surrounding desert landscape, and gave the approximate location. However, the approximate location meant it could be anywhere in several hundred square miles of Utah backcountry. Using the photos from the article, I tried to match them with satellite images, a difficult and time-consuming process. Like finding an Ephedra needle in a vast expanse of desert haystacks. I gave up the search several times in frustration, but kept coming back to it because the panel was so fascinating. After maybe 30-40 hours of total effort, I found where I thought the panel was located. A few months later, my wife and I drove and hiked to the location, and after some ground searching, we whooped and celebrated when we sighted the panel. It was the culmination of persistence, and a love of rock images. I included a view of the background landscape in my image for those who might be similarly diligent, and maybe a little obsessed with finding special places in a desert landscape.
