An exhibition of twenty-four
panoramic color photographs made along the trail used by
Lewis and Clark to explore the Louisiana Purchase in
1803-06. The combination of photographs with excerpts from
the journals of Lewis and Clark creates a unique
contemporary document, establishing a narrative spanning two
hundred years of change along the route. Rather than
seeking to depict a romantic, unblemished wilderness,
Phelps’ images embrace the natural and social landscape of
the contemporary American West recording sites where
history, nature, and modern-day civilization coexist.
An internationally known
award-winning landscape photographer with extensive
exhibition, publishing, and teaching experience, Phelps
conceived the Sites of Discovery project in
recognition of the opportunity inherent in the Lewis and
Clark Bicentennial commemoration. He began the project in
1996, and completed the photographs in 2002. Phelps
traveled the trail extensively capturing the sites at
approximately the same time of the year the Corps of
Discovery experienced them, and in many cases, under similar
weather conditions.
