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

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 […]
Uncle Phil’s Shotgun Greeting
The night before last October’s workshop, one of my students, Ron Pinkerton, took me to a Mojave desert ghost town called Cantil. All that’s left are few buildings and this trailer. Nice spot! After setting up and shooting for a few minutes, a figure approached out of the darkness with a shotgun. “I gotcha covered! […]
Shot Through the Heart
Amazing to me that people are still driving by out here at 1:30 in the morning. Bet I looked really suspicious . . .
20730 East Palmdale Avenue
Plug that title into your GPS and drop on by, anytime. Even at 1:24AM, like when this was taken. Protomachine flashlight and 250 seconds of full moon light.
