Abandoned, ransacked and vandalized motel, Big Tuna Texas . . . I mean Mount Montgomery, Nevada.  Protomachine flashlight in a totally dark space.  54-second exposure.  It took many tries to get this right.

A stack of long, late night exposures (totaling about 15 minutes), recording a lone car heading east on U.S. 6.  Shot from the ruins of Coaldale, in Western Nevada.  Full moon, Protomachine flashlight set to red.

Abandoned in the California High Desert.  That point-and-shoot  film camera is still sitting on that counter there, if anyone wants it.

Abandoned deep in the high desert avenues of Antelope Valley, on a howlingly windy, full moon night. The nearest house is miles away. The garage and driveway is a VHS tape graveyard. There’s hundreds of them, the boxes all faded and the tapes half-melted, little sand dunes building up around them.
