Great Black And White Photographers Part 2

 The person I'm doing this biography on, is Timothy O'Sullivan. He was born in Ireland but moved to New York City when he was two years old. As a teen, he was employed by Mathew Brady. He was a first lieutenant in the Union army. He did no fighting, but instead surveyed the battle grounds. He also took pictures of the dead and wounded soldiers. He went on as being well-known for his photographs. He took pictures of important things in history. From 1867 to 1869, he was the official photographer for the United States Geological Exploration of the Fortieth Parallel under Clarence King. He spent the last few years of his life in Washington, DC. He died of tuberculosis in Staten Island at the age of 42 on January 14th, 1882.
