Another Way to Shoot a Wheel
Bodie, CA
Bodie is a ghost town in the hills east of the Sierras, founded as a mining camp after gold was discovered in the area. It was a tough town in a harsh environment, where murders and hangings where common. It once had as many as 2,000 buildings including 65 saloons and 2 churches, but most were destroyed in one day by fire in 1892.
It was completely abandoned by 1950 and is now kept in a state of "arrested decay" by the California park service.
This night visit to Bodie was part of the Nocturnes Night Photography Festival at Mono Lake, hosted by Lance Keimig, Scott Martin and Tim Baskerville, and was a great time all-around.
