COVER PHOTOBalanced Rock, Arches National Park by Utah State Bar member Steven Black.
STEVEN G. BLACK is General Counsel for the portfolio companies of the Savory Restaurant Fund, a unique private equity fund that focuses on the development of successful restaurant brands. Asked about his photo, Steven wrote: “This photo was taken during the summer monsoon season in Arches National Park. As rain clouds gathered in the east, the sun found a break in the clouds near sunset to create contrasting soft light on Balanced Rock with dark clouds in the background.” |
