Note:
"In the 1970s, Arizona photographer Mark Klett led a team of photographers and art historians in a project to rephotograph the western landscape images of noted nineteenth century photographers such as William Henry Jackson and Timothy O'Sullivan. Given the eminence of the original photographers, the team took special care to match the exact locations, times of year, times of day, and even focal lengths of the lenses, in order to precisely match the originals. With remote sites, little change might be seen. However, photographs of places that have been dramatically touched by human presence show striking changes. For example, in a rephotograph of an 1867 view of Pyramid Lake by Timothy O'Sullivan, a significant drop in water level is clearly visible. This difference in water level suggests urban growth and the rise of agriculture owing to the Newlands Reclamation project. From 1997 to 2000, Mark Klett worked with another group of photographers and a writer to update the Second View rephotographic project. In 'Third Views, Second Sights: A Rephotographic Survey of the American West', they revisited and photographed many of the same locations that had been photographed more than twenty years before." -- Online Nevada Encyclopedia, (http://www.onlinenevada.org/articles/rephotographic-survey-projects), Stand: 28.10.2020
