Stanley Swarts traveled throughout the western United States in his early life and attended high schools in four different states. His love for natural environments developed with exposure to non-urban western regions and he began photographing them in 1948. He obtained a Bachelors degree in Industrial Arts Education from the University of Nebraska, a Masters degree in Social Science from Long Beach State University, and a Ph.D. from UCLA. His employment while attending college included four years of construction work, seven years as a city and regional planner, and several years teaching in public schools, community colleges, and at UCLA.
In 1972 he accepted a position at Northern Arizona University to teach geography and to develop a land planning program. The position was attractive, but of equal importance was the opportunity for his wife and him to raise their two children in the beautiful environment of the Colorado Plateau. His photography was an essential part of both his academic training and his geographic teaching. He believes that a photographer develops an appreciation of the subject being photographed so, that photography is inexorably linked to the environmental appreciation and protection. His dissertation, "A Conservation and Land Use Plan for the Eastern Mojave Desert," is a consequence of that perception. Although most of his photography features the Southwest and the Colorado Plateau during his twenty-five years at NAU, he has also been privileged to photograph many other global environments.
The photographs contain images of the Colorado Plateau area including major geological formations, flora, and man-made structures and document the many different seasons and their affect on the area. Some of the sites include Jerome, the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell, and Sunset Crater. The subjects of the photographs range from former dwellings and man-made structures to natural occurrences like water and petrified wood.
