Our next Bodie night photography workshop is coming this Sunday night! In this photo the interior light is from a red wand light, and in the rusty headlight holders I placed yellow electric tea lights, like the ones listed on my Amazon "astore" here: http://astore.amazon.com/jeffsulliphot-20?_encoding=UTF8&node=21
Our night and interior workshops for Memorial Day Weekend later this week were just released to us recently, so we have plenty of room if you'd like special access to a ghost town at night or inside among the furniture, antiques and mining artifacts: http://www.jeffsullivanphotography.com/blog/bodie-night-photography-workshops/
Our interior workshop this weekend is on Memorial Day, the morning after our night photography workshop, but you can sign up for either one separately.

Hi
cool
epic +Jeff Sullivan ! Thanks for this post ;0 !

This is Bodie, CA we're talking about?
Yes +Joe Younger, Bodie State Historic Park. The park closes at 6 pm but with enough liability insurance and paying up to several hundred dollars per person in fees, we can hire a monitor to escort us into the park after hours. The same is true for interior access: most of the buildings are normally closed, but we can arrange escorted access into the park for sunrise and photography inside the buildings. The California State park system and the park employees allow this access because funds from the workshops go towards building stabilization projects to keep the town in its state of suspended decay.
Here a G+ album of some of my photos from our visits to Bodie:

Thanks for the confirmation.
I worked in the Bodie area back in '79... sub-contracted to the BLM. It was
an archeological surface survey of the Bodie and Coleville planning units.
Never had the time to see all that you have photographed (thanks) but I
enjoyed it just the same.
Hope your event goes very well.
That sounds like a fascinating project +Joe Younger, the history goes back so far in the region. I've found obsidian in the town of Bodie (left it in place of course)... there's so much more we might learn of the past in this area. It saddens me to see looting and vandalism of many archaeological sites. I rarely mention names of historical sites, I've hidden my photos of many, and I've refused to take photos at all of others to precious to disclose.
Yes, looting was a problem even when I was there. There were reports of BLM employees driving around in Jeeps and picking up artifacts... very disturbing.
I remember seeing a heavy-gauge copper wire lying on the ground, trailing along, headed to a nearby community. Turns out it was for their telegraph... high tech in their day.
I do miss the area. BTW, we ran into obsidian and other aboriginal artifacts, and recorded many middens and other work sites.
Hope all goes well for you and your event. Take care.
