| Bodie in Black & White | 05.26.2007 |
Back when I was just getting into photography in high school, my dad took me to Bodie, and old ghost town just outside of Bridgeport, CA (about a 45 minute drive from where we were camping). Bodie (on Wikipedia) was one of the huge mining camp towns that flourished during the California gold rush. Over $34 million worth of gold was taken from it's mines and it was one of the towns that was synonymous with the Old West... murders, shootouts, ballroom brawls and stagecoach shootouts were regular occurrences.
The other day, my dad and I spent a few hours walking around the deserted town shooting photos and just wondering what it must have been like to live back in those times. I have always been fascinated with that era and especially Billy the Kid and other outlaws (Young Guns and Young Guns II are some of my favorite movies, can I get an "Amen"!).
Here are a few of my favorite B&W images, I'll post the color ones tomorrow.
