Here’s Chris from last week’s workshop, lifting a truck. Pretty strong for a skinny guy. 2 hand-held strobes. 94 seconds, to let the sky burn in a little.
Wrapped Around Your Ankles
The “Cobb” Imperial movie prop again. The car is cut off at the dashboard/firewall for filming access, allowing me to get in here at an unusual angle. This gem has taken a beating sitting outside in the desert for almost 20 years. Protomachine flashlight set to red and lime. I kept the exposure short to [...]
Before The Feature Starts
Paul moved the “Cobb” movie prop ’59 Imperial out from it’s nearly inaccessible perch on the west fence. Now you can comfortably shoot it from any angle, so I set up and relaxed with her for 40 minutes while the stars inexorably marched across the sky. Purple and red Protomachine flashlight too. I love the casters [...]
J.F. Sebastian Checks His P.O. Box
Super rare Vanguard Electric Mail Truck, dragged out of the shadows for the workshop at Paul’s. Just catching the moonrise. Red, blue, green and snooted white Protomachine flashlight.
Watch Your Fingers
Back from another wild and crazy workshop at Paul’s Junkyard! Incredibly windy on the third night, and it got so bad the following night, the CHP ended up closing Highway 14 thru Lancaster due to “zero-visiblity conditions” so we cut out at just the right moment. My eyes got so full of sand they still [...]
The Indoor Cloud
Former sofa in an abandoned house in the far eastern reaches of California’s Antelope Valley. Kinda funky in here. Treacherous footing in the dark. After midnight, Cold and windy. Desaturated purple and full-bore red Protomachine flashlight from a variety of angles. Full moon outside, 115 second exposure.
No Instruments Required
Red purple and lLime-set protomachine flashlight. 143 second exposure under full moon.
Blue Eyed Soul
A recent addition at Paul’s, it’s a bone-stock, totally complete, four-door ’71 Ford LTD. When I was 10 or 11 these cars were everywhere. I remember thinking they were really common and boring. 40+ years on however, this thing seems strangely stylish and unique. 3 minute exposure under the full moon. Shot into the shadows. [...]
Bucktoothed
An Austin Powers-era MG 1100 forgotten in a shed. Protomachine Flashlight set to white, green, purple and red. 161 seconds in deep shade.
Crawling Into The Moonlight
Had to work fast to catch just the tip of the white whale breeching from its garage. A few minutes later, with more moonlight revealing the scene, the character of this set up changed dramatically. This giant tank of a car is part of a private collection in California’s Central Valley. Protomachine flashlight set to [...]
