‘…I had seen the remarkable photograph made by Timothy O’Sullivan in 1873, in an album of his original prints that I once possessed. I had stood unaware in almost the same spot on the canyon floor, about the same month and day, at nearly the same time of day that O’Sullivan must have made his exposure, almost exactly sixty-nine years earlier.’
