One Picture Book Two #44 : To Utah 85

For her books of photographs from the 1980s, Americans Seen and Passing Time, Sage Sohier photographed primarily east of the Mississippi. But in 1985, when she drove through the Midwest to Utah and Idaho, it took her a while to figure out how to use her wide angle lens on the open skies and relatively treeless landscapes of the West. She became intrigued by how people looked in new housing developments with trampolines in backyards and distant mountain views.

To Utah 85 presents 11 photographs from this road trip west.
