Arco, Idaho
|
Once the nation's hub for nuclear energy testing, Arco, Idaho was the "first city in the world to be lit by atomic power." Now, it's known as the closest semblance of civilization to Craters of the Moon National Monument, an otherworldly landscape of dried lava flows, cinder cones, caves, and desert brush. Neon signs, colorful motels, and a hillside covered in numbers stand as remnants of a bygone era. A fatal nuclear accident, the fin of a Navy submarine dubbed the "Devil Boat," and other dark secrets make the decaying town and surrounding miles of desert feel uneasy.
ARCO is a compilation of photos and stories from the anachronistic Idaho town, collected over three seasons and four different road trips. It represents my most focused body of work, an intentional effort to capture the essence of Arco, Craters of the Moon National Monument, and the nearby ghost town of Atomic City.

Between Places

Between Places is Oliver Dahl's debut photo book, a hardcover, 140-page collection of full-color photographs taken on the journey—between places. From road trips and cruise ships to hill tops and rest stops, Between Places documents transience in scenes as viewed through car windows and camera lenses.
Equally attentive to the seemingly mundane and common as it is to the spectacular sights of coastal vistas and national park grandeur, the 130 photographs included in Between Places are an eclectic collection of pictures that inspire something like wanderlust. The photos were largely taken in the American West—Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, California—with some exceptions in Tennessee and Mazatlan, Mexico.
