Post your BODIE pictures :~'))

Decrepitude always makes for such an interesting subject matter for LF photography! Old towns, old barns, old trucks in fields...

Beautiful photographs! I have always wanted to visit though the place seems very erie.

This is the first time I have seen images from inside the buildings. How does one get inside access?

Thanks for sharing the beautiful photos!

Everyone who can should go shoot Gilman, CO before it is turned into a private ski resort.

Some of the buildings are open with areas like this kithchen cordoned off with rabbit wire to protect it but allow view. The best interiors are only seen with a workshop that has access. Somewhere I have a pile of 35mm Velvia done inside some of the best kept buildings.

For Photo workshop info the call the park (619)647-6445, they should have a list.
Another plus is park access at sunrise & sunset!
I took the Bob Cumming workshop two years, it was great- although I heard he quit to pursue his underwater photography.

I got to go with Tom Morse of Global Preservation Projects back when he was doing on-site E6 for the participants. I helped with the E6 so went for free. He's 110% digital now and has no tolerance for big cameras, especially inside these buildings.

Thanks for the information guys!

What a depressing-looking town. Say, where's all the people at ?

There is an old saying about Bodie, I'm not sure this is an exact telling:

A young girls family was moving to Bodie from San Francisco, and she was quoted as saying, "Goodbye God, I'm going to Bodie". At which point, the newspapers, in an attempt to not scare people off, revised the quote to "Good, by God, I'm going to Bodie".

Very nice work all of you.

My experience with interior access to the buildings was many years ago (1967) on a photo trip with my friend. We had spent the previous night in my van at what was then the Bodie campground. It was a very cold night, well below the freezing mark, and we arose early to have breakfast with the ranger who was there with his young daughter, keeping guard over the ruins. Until noon, when we departed, the four of us were the only persons in Bodie. The ranger opened all of the buildings for us and my friend and I went to work with our cameras.
