  • Bodie Bank Vault

    I have been working through my Bodie images to put together a series of photographs to put into a photobook.   As I walked around Bodie I found the old bank.  The main building has fallen and about the only thing left is the old vault.

  • Bodie’s Methodist Church

    I really liked the details of the architecture of the only church that is still standing in Bodie Historical Park.   I ave only really photographed architecture for a couple of years and I am really enjoying it, for this one I wanted the photo to look more like an illustration.

  • Methodist Church Interior in Bodie

    We had lots of fun in Bodie and I tool lots of photos to experiment with several techniques.  I also use techniques that I had in the past and decided to push to a more surreal look as this town just sees surreal to me.  Just think people moved out of these buildings and just left stuff on tables.  Kind of hard to believe.   This is the only church that is still standing and I will likely post several photos of it over the next few weeks.  I think the donations bowl with the coins adds to the image.

  • Trip to Bodie

    Cynde and I drove up to Lee Vining in our van to spend the weekend exploring and photographing with two sites as the main targets:  Bodie State Historical Park and Mono Lake.  Bodie is an old deserted ghost town as after the gold disappeared the town dwindled to nothing.  Many of the folks that left there did not have the resources to take all of their possessions with them so they left them.  The entire town is left in a state of arrested decay.
