The Purple Beam
Another derelict building at the base of a giant pile of mine tailings at Grantsville, Nevada. Founded after an 1863 gold strike, by 1885 the mine had mostly played out. It limped along until 1947, when the 50-building town was completely abandoned. Only a few structures remain. More Protomachine lighting, the interior was lit from […]
Moonporch
The abandoned mining complex at Grantsville, Nevada. Definitely off the map. Here’s an example of the Protomachines light I’ve been testing this summer dialed almost all the way down: very low power, color almost totally desaturated. Warm pale orange on the wood walls, cool pale blue light on the floor and ceiling. Full moon, 2-minute […]
Squid de Ville
A tilted early ’60s Cadillac, incorporated into the walls and sculptures at Thunder Mountain Indian Monument near Winnemucca, Nevada. Lit with a beta-test version of the amazing Protomachines flashlight. Red, lime and turquoise light mixed with full moon light during a 92 second exposure.
The Fertility Goddess
Sculpture and ruins beside Interstate 80 at Thunder Mountain Indian Monument near Winnemucca Nevada. Thanks for the night access Fred! May 2012. This is the first of many posts of many to come . . . of work shot with a beta-test version of the Protomachines flashlight. It’s a fully adjustable hue/saturation/brightness-based LED flashlight. Millions […]
The Gassy Hit Man
When my old friend Greg said “Hey man, I see you’re finally taking pictures of people. You should come out to the woods and take pictures of us shooting my guns!” I jumped at the opportunity. Here’s Greg’s Nephew John, firing a 9mm Ruger in cook’s whites and a Russian Army gas mask. We found […]
Saint Patty’s
Another interior from The Oasis. The place stank of decay so bad, the people I was traveling with refused to spend any time inside. There were a number of small fires that had been started in here–there’s remains of one on the left bar stool–so it’s amazing the place hasn’t yet burned to the ground. […]
Indoor Tumbleweeds
Inside the abandoned Oasis Cafe, Carson Plains, Nevada. Total darkness, lit with a Stinger flashlight from 2 angles.
The Fat Saguaro
Abandoned along Highway 50 in western Nevada. 204 seconds under a full moon at about 4 AM. Lots of sodium vapor light from the highway. Lime-gelled LED onto the saguaro from camera right.
