Another salvage yard custom, it’s some kind of late 50s Chrysler product (edit: probably a ’59 Desoto). This whale is parked by the old barn/workshop at the Big M. Nosed, decked, roll panned, frenched, but painted rattle-can flat black and never finished. I’m sure this car will one day be completed by a new owner. […]
Bodie Mortician’s Parlor
I was a guest lecturer at Lance Keimig‘s “Mono Lake Night Photography Festival” in June, it’s always fun to talk to a pack of ravenous night photographers. Plus I got to shoot in Bodie at night one more time (after similar trips in ’03 and ’04). Lance’s co-teacher Scott Martin let me borrow his Lens […]
Spider Dodge, Spider Dodge, Does whatever a Spider Dodge Does
The spider bites are much worse now. Several more seem to have surfaced. All are deep red, swollen and hot. Several have bright red nipple-like protuberances in the centers. The ones on my hand are really painful and itchy. It’s strange how they took 2 days to really get bad. Hope they subside in the […]
Nixon Now More Than Ever
Groovy Nixon poster (well, as groovy as a Nixon anything can get), dated 1972, rescued from a junkyard trailer near Carson City, Nevada. There was a whole stack of them, I shoulda grabbed more. Shot on a cheap motel bedspread in the dark, lit with an LED flashlight.
Nobody’s Business
Living the kick-ass, sourdough, Nevada mine-caretaker lifestyle, Irish’s place is the ultimate hippy mancave. What Irish does here is Nobody’s Business and intimidating super-dogs, Duke (and Bob, not pictured, off chasing rabbits) keep the riff raff out. This 25-second exposure was shot at dusk and lit with a AA Maglite. Dontcha just wanna sit in that […]
Dayton Mine Ski Boat
Why do you find abandoned boats out in the middle of the desert? There isn’t a lake for 100 miles. This is about 20 minutes worth of star trails done in 5 minute chunks and stacked in Photoshop. The interior was lit with a turquoise and red-gelled strobe. This building is infested with rats, there […]
