In the summer of 2003, Thomas Joshua Cooper traveled to Shoshone
Falls in southern Idaho to photograph where the Snake River had
tumbled across a 212-foot precipice, once one of the most sublime
landscapes in the American West. Cooper's images were a response to
the work of Timothy H. O'Sullivan, photographer on the
late-nineteenth-century geologic and geographic surveys led by
Clarence King and George M. Wheeler. Traveling to Shoshone Falls in
1868, and again in 1874, O'Sullivan made images that capture both
the physical grandeur and emotional resonance of this unique
landscape. Cooper's photographs simultaneously engage the work of
his predecessor while expanding his own formal vocabulary in a
project that generates a dialogue around history, geography and
photographic process. Printed large-scale in lush tri-tone, this
book reproduces 18 of Cooper's images in tandem with nine by
O'Sullivan.
