Black and white photograph of late spring snow flurries in the ghost town of Bodie, California. Bodie is the famous and relatively well-preserved ghost town in the silver mining area of the high desert east of Yosemite National Park. (Posting the series of Rhyolite photographs made me realize that I have some older photographs of Bodie that haven’t been posted here yet.)

Southern Death Valley from Aguereberry Point

Late afternoon view of southern Death Valley from Aguereberry Point.

Aguereberry Point is a high overlook to the west of Death Valley, reached by a long drive from the Valley, the last part of which is on a decent gravel road. The view is, to state the obvious, tremendous. It includes the highest peaks of the southern Sierra Nevada range far in the west, essentially all of Death Valley National Park including a good portion of Death Valley itself and points beyond.

Andy Frazer has posted a couple of interesting stories/links:

  1. Tim Baskerville of The Nocturnes is presenting a Night Photography Workshop next month. I’ve been to several events organized by Tim, so I’ll join Andy in recommending this one to anyone looking to get started on night photography.
  2. Andy also calls out the night photography of Frank Relle whose work features photographs from New Orleans, especially post-Katrina New Orleans.

G Dan Mitchell is a California photographer and visual opportunist. His book, “California’s Fall Color: A Photographer’s Guide to Autumn in the Sierra” (Heyday Books) is available directly from him.
