Yucca, Arizona. July, 1996. Kodak 160T chrome film. Night, about 8 minutes. Red and green-gelled strobe. Fresh scan. There’s still time to get on the bus. Only one spot left for next full moon’s junkyard night photography workshop.  

Snoopy, the junk B-58, lost in the high desert.  Night, 162-second exposure.  Purple, red and green light from the Protomachines flashlight.

Fisheyed abstract machine-porn, deep inside the derelict B-58’s broken wing-pod, in the hole where the GE J79 jet engine used to live. Night, 95-second exposure. Full moon, with red and purple-set Protomachines flashlight.

The mach-2 capable Hustler’s super-sleek underbelly.  No doubt Snoopy’s the rattiest B-58 in the world, but of the 8 left, he’s the one in the most picturesque location. Purple and red set Protomachines flashlight.  100 second exposure, under full moon.

Fisheye Convair B-58 Hustler, lost in the high desert.  Night, full moon, purple and red Protomachines flashlight.  About 15minutes total exposure.

Last year one of my past students, Noel Kerns, slipped in under the radar there to night shoot them. Since then a number of other night shooters (Stephen Freskos, Amy Heiden, Calvin Caneda, […]

In the abandoned musical farmhouse.  Plain old flashlight from 2 directions, in totally mold-covered darkness.

Console stereo in the abandoned farmhouse with the face on the window and the Piano in the hallway.  Piles of moldy records too, it was a musical house.  Total darkness, Protomachines flashlight.

I’ll cut right to the chase.  Normally my workshops are full and hard to get into, but, due to someone’s inability to commit, there’s one open spot in next month’s 3-nighter at the Valley Junkyard. All the info is listed here.  And I’m very easy to reach if you have any questions.  Life is short, come on the insane adventure […]

Two halves of a double-wide bathroom, abandoned outside Mojave, California.  I loved the illusory depth and enhanced perspective the mirrors gave, combined with that sliver of infinity and the jumbled horizontal planes.  There’s a lot of surreal things going on here with perspective and perception.  Even in daylight it was a big fat “what the hell am I actually […]
