I gotcher throwback right here. Bodie ghost town, near midnight, as the moon finally rose and the clouds cleared. From when I guest lectured at one of the Keimig night photography workshops there, back in June ’03. 6 minutes of full moon, f5.6, 100VS film, red-gelled POS million candle-power flashlight that weighed a ton. Slightly […]
Vista Malaise
Crappy mid ’70s Olds VistaCruiser wagons (crappy if for no other reason than cuz theres just a small sunroof instead of the amazing panoramic roof glass in the previous models) rotting away at Pearsonville. Nice shelf-paper wood paneling too. 4-minute full moon exposure, with many colors from the Protomachine flashlight reflected into the bumper and […]
Three Thirty Nine Bee
Collapsing car port in the totally abandoned housing development, at the abandoned Fort Ord Army Base, in almost always foggy Monterey, California. This short-exposure variation from 2009 was never put online before. Reprocessed (ie: saved) using 2018 noise reduction. Combination of two 1-minute exposures, lit with LED flashlight.
Pearson de Ville
Skulking around Pearsonville late at night again, I see someone’s been picking at this ’61 Cad. 3-minutes of full moon with snooted cool white and bounced red Protomachines flashlight.
Barracuda Sarcophagus
Basket case mid-60s fastback Plymouth, with rotten and dusty custom upholstery, at the Pearsonville junkyard. Night, 134-seconds of full moon outside, with lime, blue and a tick of red flashlight bounced around inside.
Electra Pink
Pink, green and blue light, mixed with full moon for 123-seconds, at Aviation Warehouse.
Cola War Casualty
Moonrise on the back 40 at Aviation Warehouse. Red, white and purple Protomachines flashlight during a 58-second exposure.
Chickasaw Ozymandias
Night, 98-seconds of full moon, with red, white and blue flashlight.
The Edge of the Mirage
Watching the full moon rise from a DC-6 cockpit, in storage at Aviation Warehouse. Total darkness in there, lit in 64-seconds with the Protomachines flashlight.
The Purple Lagoon
Just back from a whirlwind trip to Aviation Warehouse, I haven’t made it out there for three years. Thanks once again to the Thompson family for continuing (12 years and counting!) to allow my exclusive, occasional night access to their amazing boneyard to make these weird and mysterious pictures. Drifts of airliner landing gear on […]
