Fort Washakie Cemetery
Wind River Reservation, Wyoming
This black and white photograph captures the Fort Washakie Cemetery on the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming, where Chief Washakie (c.1804–1900), leader of the Eastern Shoshone, is laid to rest.
White crosses and headstones rise from tall prairie grass beneath an expansive sky. The composition places the horizon low, allowing the weight of the cloud formations to dominate the frame. In the distance, mountains anchor the landscape.
Rendered in monochrome, the image emphasizes tonal contrast and spatial scale — markers against grass, sky against earth. The reduction to black and white removes distraction, focusing attention on form, repetition, and quiet presence.
The photograph is less about spectacle than stillness — a study in space, memory, and restraint.
