“Almost a century ago, my great-grandmother, Maggie May Jones, moved from Oklahoma to Boise, Idaho with her husband and children in a trailer that contained most of their possessions. With a head full of dreams. Three generations later, I was born. The memories of summers spent with my grandfather in Idaho are the strongest of my childhood. The rodeo and the cowboys, the drive-ins, going down the river on inner tubes, the smell and sound of guns, and the drunken family…” Anne Rearick
Idaho is like many American states: the capital Boise, with its fine university and mixed population, is home to just 12% of the population. The rest of the region is a collection of small rural towns, where in some churches the American flag flies proudly next to the cross… This is the setting for the personal photographic story of this great American photographer, who works in time, in black and white, in a cinematographic atmosphere.
