Bodie Part i

I arrived in Reno yesterday and drove down to Bridgeport, California to meet Richard Small to do a one day shoot at Bodie, the Ghost Town. We had a great time and did a lot of HDR images. This is a very fascinating place rich with history of the gold rush era. Bodies sits on a mountain side at over 8,000 feet of elevation.

The Ghost town is
filled with lots of old
machinery and the
towns buildings and
even some old trucks.
The textures and
colors were fantastic.
It was a great after-
noon of shooting.

I was composing a
shot when I very
attractive young
lady said I know I
know you, have
you ever been to
Photoshop World?
It turned out to be
Karen Nace who
works with Ben
Wilmore. I’m a
big fan of Ben’s
work and was
sorry he was not
at Bodie, but I
have to say Karen is
much prettier! Had to
say that Ben…..

It was nice to meet
her and we had a

conversation with Richard about how
we’re all fans of the NAPP gang. May-
be we will run into Ben in the morning.
I shot a lot of stuff and will shoot more
in the morning before I head back up
to Reno, so I will post some more
Tuesday, maybe Wednesday.

Blessings,

the pilgrim
