Stories from the Porch
Stories from the Porch

Wood being scarce, Tom Kelly decided he'd build a house with other material: glass bottles. Lots of them. Kelly collected over 50,000 bottles in six months from the 50 saloons in Rhyolite. He built a three-room house with porch and quaint gingerbread trim. Inside, the walls were covered with plaster. It's really a unique, beautiful and comfortable house. I illuminated the scene with warm white and teal (GST) light during the long exposure. Light painting to illuminate subjects is a beautiful, addictive art, as you can walk around the scene, deciding what to bring to light and what to keep in shadow. I had special permission to photograph this at night. It is ordinarily locked up at night.
