Bodie Ghost Town at Night

Bodie at night: Standard Stamp Mill -- by Joe Reifer

A night photo of the Standard Stamp Mill at Bodie State Historic Park. The Hoover House is in the foreground. The full moon was rising behind the hill during this 30-minute exposure. Troy Paiva, Gabriel Biderman and I just returned from 3 nights of shooting in Western Nevada ghost towns and mining ruins, and one night at Bodie during the Mono Lake Night Photography Festival. This year's festival marked the 20th anniversary of The Nocturnes. I enjoyed seeing a lot of old friends and making some new ones. Stay tuned for more photos and stories from the trip!
