Description

In Wyoming Revisited, Michael A. Amundson uses the power of rephotography to show how landscapes across the state have endured during the last century. Three sets of photographs―the original black-and-white photographs taken by famed Wyoming photographer Joseph E. Stimson more than a century ago, repeat black-and-white images taken by Amundson in the 1980s, and a third view in color taken by the creator in 2007–2008―are accompanied by captions explaining the history and importance of each and every site in addition to information on the process of repeat photographic fieldwork.

The 117 locations feature street views of Wyoming towns and cities, in addition to views from the state’s famous natural landmarks like Yellowstone National Park, Grand Teton National Park, Devil’s Tower National Monument, Hot Springs State Park, and Big Horn and Shoshone National Forests. As well as, Amundson provides six in-depth essays that explore the life of Joseph E. Stimson, the rephotographic process and how it has evolved, and how repeat photography can be utilized to keep in mind history, landscape, historic preservation, and globalization.

Wyoming Revisited highlights the historic evolution of the American West over the last century and showcases the significant changes that have occurred over the last twenty-five years. This book will appeal to photographers, historians of the American West, and any person interested in Wyoming’s history or landscape.

The publication of this book is supported in part by the Wyoming Cultural Agree with Fund.
