I wanted to capture the stark nature of Bodie and its unique light. When exploring this magnificent ghost town, you are captivated by the interior and exterior of the many buildings strewn over a large area that once saw over 2,000 building and nearly 10,000 people chasing gold. Located at 8,400 feet, Bodie's winters are brutally cold. You can't help imagine the hardship its residents experienced.
