In case you forgot how cold, wet and muddy it was in Fresno this past February, here y’ar. First shot of the night, 57-seconds during nautical twilight, with warm white flashlight.
Desoto Freezeout
Another night at Big M, with a 1959 Desoto, under the trees with all the spiders. 75-seconds in deep shade, with red backlight, blue reflected light and warm white key light. The rising full moon is just out of frame behind the A/C unit.
Edsel Script
The passenger side of yesterday’s Edsel dashboard, sitting in the dirt at Big M. Red, white and blue from the Protomachines flashlight in 30-seconds of total darkness.
The Dash That Stares Back
Edsel control panel, among the weeds at Big M. Total darkness, blue, green and white flashlight, in 30 seconds.
Steel Manta
Barnacles on the side of a chrome covered ’58 Buick. No, I didn’t need scuba gear to take this. Wettest winter I’ve seen in my 10+ years of visiting Big M Auto Dismantlers, the cars in the shady spots were all spattered with moss and lichen, even in April. Warm white and green, direct and […]
The Infernal Goddess
Feeling crappy with allergies or a sinus infection, or some such misery, so I blew off the road trip I had planned for this months full moon. But I did manage to drag my ass out for a night at Big M. I can’t stay away from this place. There’s always a farm-fresh barn find, […]
Christine on the Shelf
Yeah I know it’s a year off, but the title is too rich to pass up. ’57 Plymouth front clip and other parts in storage at Big M Auto dismantlers. Rising full moon, vapor trails, naturally occurring white light from the house and added purple and green from the Protomachines flashlight, all soaked up in […]
Moonstruck Speedline
The sculpted fender of an early 70s Monte Carlo at Pearsonville, grazed by moonlight for 1:17, with red, blue and cool white from the Protomachines flashlight.
Bumpercrop Year
Bumpercrop Year Another serene view of fatback clouds hovering over the long abandoned produce Inspection Station on Route 66 between Newberry and Daggett, last full moon. I don’t think I’ve ever been to this harsh part of the desert when it was so lush and green. A quiet and comfortably cool moment, late at night, […]
Call Any Vegetable
Call Any Vegetable Another iconic spot on that stretch of bypassed Route 66 near Newberry Springs is the old California Inspection Station. This property was privately owned for many years, but is now wide open. Night, 1:34 of full moon, with a little cool white flashlight from a couple of angles. I really just wanted […]
