For this exhibit, titled Osage County, photographer Grant
McClintock focuses on the northeastern Oklahoma region
he currently calls home. His images capture the
uniqueness of the area, highlighting the people and
landscape that trademark the county.
McClintock says he finds the landscape of Osage County
familiar and comfortable. "It is a complex but quiet
landscape – a subtle mixture of texture and tone, which
the eye can fail to appreciate at first glance," he
describes. "A fall pasture might appear to be a
monotonous brown mass as you drive past. But hike
through it and you will discover that particular brown is
composed of a hundred shades of red, green, blue, and yellow."
McClintock was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He
attended boarding school at Choate
Rosemary Hall in Wallingford, Connecticut,
before graduating from college at the
University of North Carolina. He was first
introduced to photography when he received
an old Contax rangefinder camera for
Christmas while in college. McClintock says
he was instantly fascinated with
photography. He began shooting
photographs obsessively and turned his
bedroom into a darkroom for film
development. His practice was further honed
by pouring over countless photography art books about artists such as Cartier Bresson,
Robert Frank, and Edward Weston. Soon after, he became a photographer for the Daily
Tarheel, his university newspaper. He says he has been a photographer ever since.
After graduating from college, McClintock
began his professional photography career
while exploring the world. He lived in London
for a short time before taking a job as photo
editor for a company in Palo Alto, California.
Later, he founded Magazine Street Studio, a
commercial photography studio in New
Orleans. He also opened The Photo
Exchange, the first photography-only gallery
in the South, in the French Quarter.
McClintock moved to Sun Valley, Idaho, in
1989 and began working on a book of
photographs of Western fly-fishing rivers. The project took him through the Rocky
Mountains from New Mexico to British Columbia to capture images. The book, titled
Flywater, was published by Lyons & Burford of New York in 1994. After moving back to
Tulsa he completed a second book on rivers, this time focusing on the eastern region of the
continent. He captured images of trout and salmon streams from Georgia to Nova Scotia.
The book, titled Watermark, was published in 1998.
