A couple more pieces in the vast truck cab collection at Paul’s Junkyard. Full moon (hidden behind the big truck’s sun visor, leaving most of the scene in silhouette), 148 second exposure. In that two minutes I used the Protomachine flashlight to light the inside of the cab and the spindles of plastic tubing purple, […]
AK Blush
This prewar Chevrolet pick up is crammed into the crowded Northwest corner of Paul’s Junkyard. Many workshop students have struggled with shooting this truck, so I wanted to give it a try. Its cut in half, just behind the cab, so it sits with its nose pointed in the air. I got down very low […]
The Spring Workshop
Want to learn how to do this kind of photography? I’ve had 2 previously closed spots open up for my May 2013 workshop. Here’s your chance to spend 3 nights shooting with, and learning from me at Paul’s amazing high desert junkyard and movie-prop storage facility. There’s also several hours of technique demos and critical analysis […]
Eleanor
One of the last shots of the night, as the rain began to fall, at the final Pearsonville workshop, March 2011. This Mach 1 survived that winter’s crush of 500+ cars, but the ultimate fate of this car is unknown. Full moon, 95 second exposure, natural Stinger Streamlight.
Red Sails in the Moonrise
The driver’s seat of a bread truck . . . masquerading as a SWAT van, in storage at Paul’s Junkyard. This is what happens when you shine a flashlight on a curtain that’s slowly swaying in the breeze. 98-seconds in full moon light. Protomachine flashlight set to red, green and purple . . . from […]
Radioactive Boardtrack
Smashed semi-trailer, on its side, with the body work stripped away. Protomachine flashlight set to yellow and red at paul’s amazing junkyard.
Postmarked by the Moon
The Cantil Post Office. Open from 1914 to 1972. Pink and green Protomachine while the full moon burned in for 136 seconds.
The Sparrow and the Paneling Monster
The view from the living room of the murder trailer in Cantil, California. A sparrow sleeps the night away hidden from outdoor predators, perched on the the broken curtain rod mount, undisturbed . . . until I came along. Amazing he stayed right there through all my lights and clomping around, but looking at that […]
The Universal Tongue and Groove
The murder trailer. Protomachine flashlight: inside, set to red, outside, set to purple from the left, green on the hitch from the right, and white on the logo. The sky is a stack of two 10-minute exposures for 20-minute star trails and the ground and lighting was done in a separate 3-minute exposure. The rest […]
