New Mexico Then and Now: Contemporary Rephotography Book

With images of 19th- and 20th-century New Mexico in hand, photographer William Stone set his tripod in the exact same spot as his predecessors to document the change (or lack thereof) that had occurred throughout the years. The result is a collection of 95 pairs of then-and-now photographs that reveal the consequences of Western settlers' efforts to tame the wild landscape, as well as Mother Nature's ability to reclaim her own. Essays that chronicle Stone's rephotograph efforts and the history of the scene accompany the photo pairs.
