Jack, Those are some awesome shots, I would love to go into the buildings myself cause I have seen a lot of potential "Still Life" shots while looking through most if not all the windows of the buildings... I shoot all black & white so "Bodie" has a lot of potential for unseen photographs that has yet to been discovered... I also seen some if not all potential to Jack's photographs becoming b/w images... Keep them coming!!! I love this thread...

What a great idea for a series of articles for View Camera or another magazine.
"People, places or things" The editor selects a subject and calls in photos of that subject.
This Bodie thread is a great example!

Thanks Ted!

It is actually to arrange to get in as an educational group. I might be willing to look into it further if a group is interested. The biggest issue is the rangers that are in charge of that, want you to make a $100 per person contribution to the "Friends of Bodie" since that's where they get additional funding, AND have to pay for a ranger to accompany your group inside any of the buildings. However, this ends up being a fairly nominal total cost for the privilege of gaining inside access.... The other issue is that when inside, you absolutely cannot touch or move anything and have to shoot it "in situ".

Cheers,

All done on FP4+, Pyrocat HD 2:2:100, on MGIV RC
The two shots I really like are the liths I did, but they're not dry yet.

Sitting here on the East Coast when the last time I smelled wet sagebrush and mesquite was 6 years ago, well trust me, this is a thoroughly enjoyable thread for me.
