Amazing photos of the Old West by photographer Timothy O'Sullivan
Anyone who lives in the West knows what a remarkable landscape surrounds us. For those who need a reminder, we suggest you take a look at this marvelous collection of Old West images made by pioneering photographer Timothy O'Sullivan.
This array of photos includes images of Shoshone Falls in Idaho (pictured above), Canyon de Chelly in Arizona, the junction of the Green and Yampah canyons in Utah, even silver mining 900-plus feet below ground.
O'Sullivan worked with Matthew Brady, the famous Civil War photographer often considered the father of moden photojournalism. After the war, he embarked on various expeditions in the West funded by federal agencies to illustrate the all-encompassing beauty.
