Bingham Canyon Mine
Submitted by Anonymous Tipster on Sat, 06/14/2008 - 1:19am.
I used to work there. It is an open pit mine and as you can imagine it has grown quite a bit since this photo was taken. The mine just celebrated its 100 year anniversary in 2004. It still holds the record for the largest man made excavation. That entire canyon is now part of the open pit and no longer exists. I have a CD with about 500 photos of this particular mine on it. Steam shovels steam engines and all.

Those who follow photography recognize Andreas Feininger as one of the premier photographers of the era... It is Andreas's sense of composition and exposure that makes this arresting image... You can be sure that he climbed all over that slope in freezing weather carrying a heavy 4x5 camera and tripod, looking for 'the' shot...

Good to see that shorpy.com was already sponsoring all those copper digs and the bridges which spanned the area. Impressive advertising. :)
