If these photos were taken by Mr. Sullivan over 120 years ago, how are they still protected by HIS copyright?
He himself expired long ago.
At least Getty isn’t claiming ownership. Yet...
How wonderful. For me, it’s one of those moments in time as I scrabbled to the lookout and then saw the canyon for the first time.
I’m almost afraid to ask, to break the spell, what does she say about actually living there?
You won't regret it. They are gorgeous.
Your mother lives in Tuba City?
Maybe - but they do have some of his works in their museum. Suspect the Mail added the copywrite notation to keep themselves on the 'right' side of the pernicious US laws!
Found this one at another site, Masters of Photography. He did a lot of work on the Civil War:
Timothy O'Sullivan
A Harvest of Death,
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
July, 1863
Thanks for that. It’s amazing just how the wind and rain have eroded those buttes in that manner. Tim also captured some of Green River City at the top of his shot, with what looks like buildings along a rail spur in its foreground.
Does she know Elizabeth Warren?
I just talked to her last night and now she's up in the mountains waiting for fall when it cools down. Too hot to spend the summertime in the little copper mining town where her actual home is.
She does interesting work, that's for sure. She's certainly 100% full-blooded Arizona lady.
That sounds just right. She gets to enjoy it without losing any of the magic. Now when I remember Canyon de Chelly, I’ll think of your mom teaching children there. Nice.
They were usually 8x10 plates that were carried by mules, and processed on site. Most of the prints would have been contacts, so there is no resolution issues at all—it is a 1:1 print.
I went to many of these places a couple years ago. Just walking around in these places without a huge camera and hundreds of pounds of equipment made me envy their stamina.
The whole time I was out in the southwest, I kept wondering hoe the hell the pioneers made it out there.
Some of the greatest land I’ve ever seen.
Smart woman. Up in the mountains is where I should be.

Timothy O’Sullivan
A seldom recognized photographer of the Civil War. Many of the images attributed to Matthew Brady were actually Mr. O’Sullivans. Brady was mostly a ‘studio’ photographer. He rarely ventured into the field
Since it's spring the Bureau of Reclamation or whoever controls flow from upstream reservoirs is probably still releasing water into the river. I've visited the "falls" when they were almost bone dry, but I think that's usually later in the summer when reservoir water is being conserved.
A lot of those photos were of places I have been and love to this day. When I first saw them, however, the developers hadn’t ruined the beauty with “progress.”
Thanks for posting this!
A lot of the land is still “empty” but it is beautiful. Thank you for visiting “my” part of the country!
