Happy Independence Day, hope you don’t blow off any fingers. A pair of idling semis, parked for the night at the abandoned town of Mount Montgomery Nevada, 40 miles from the nearest inhabited city.  Shot at about 2AM, a single eastbound freighter bombed through during the 4-minute exposure.

One of the face-planted school busses at the “International Car Forest of the Last Church” in Goldfield Nevada.  Night, right after sunset, red and yellow Protomachine flashlight.

The entrance to the “International Car Forest of the Last Church” in Goldfield Nevada.  Night, right around 2AM, full moon, a stack of long exposures yielding approximately 30-minute star trails, red and white Protomachine flashlight.

More of the art at the “International Car Forest of the Last Church” in Goldfield Nevada.  Night, full moon, 3-minute exposure, red and white Protomachine flashlight.

The junction of Highway 6 and 95 is the only thing on tonight.  50 miles from the nearest (inhabited) town. Full moon, composite of 120-second (for the TV and ground subjects) and 500-second (for the sky) exposures, Protomachine flashlight set to red.  Thanks for the use of the low-rise tripod Riki.

Purple light on the pump, white on the cart front and snooted on the […]
