Timothy O’Sullivan is known for his works relating to the
Western United States and the American Civil War. One of
Timothy’s most popular works is “Incidents of the War:
Harvest of Death”. It was taken in July of 1863. This photograph shows the aftermath of what it looked like when the Battle of Gettysburg was over. Vast areas of federal soldier men on the ground of the fields with other debris surrounding them. I think this photograph is very dark and dreadful. It immensely captures the horrific reality of what war is. When Abraham Lincoln gave his Gettysburg Address he had said,” ...brave men living and dead who struggled here.” This piece of O’Sullivans work caught that. I also think that the haziness and color of the photograph adds more to the sadness and…show more content… Timothy caught what the life of a Navajo Indian looks like and the work that is put into having at least a way to survive. He also has a photograph called Group of Pah-Ute Indians, Nevada. This picture is a group of Pah-Utah Indians. They are in the setting of a desert area in western United States. There are people from all ages in the photo, younger men and women and older men and women. Some of them appear to be carrying tools, supplies, etc. with them. They could have gotten back from a day of work or training, building, etc. In this O’Sullivan shot a group of hard working women, children, and men. The way they look gives me a sense of fatigue and tiredness for the people in the image. He also did the Alpine Lake in the Sierra
Nevada, California. I really am interested in this photograph.
It is a vast area with many trees and tall mountains. There is just enough snow that you can see on the mountains edge or in between the cracks of the rocks. There is a lot going on in this image I think because of how much detail Timothy got.
The trees are so clear to see and the edges of the rocks and mountains look so
