I have been busy this last week organizing
a workshop for the members of my online
photo forum. We have been lucky enough to
obtain 3.5 days in Oct. and access to
the INside of the buildings "will be"
Permitted in the ghost town of BodieSHP.
This should also coincide with the New moon
for night "star trail" images. If we decide
we can also get them around the tufas
of Mono Lake aiming at the North Star
from the South Tufa Preserve.
In addition, there should also be Fall color
on the nearby Aspens, so sounds like
a KEEPER of a trip. I am VERY Happy that
this week's efforts were so fruitful.
I am also very happy that I can share the
gem of Bodie with other photographers, so
her beauties will be shared with others,
and she will "live on" in their images.
Bodie is TRULY a part of OUR History and
the BIGGEST HUMAN Migration WEST due to
the Gold Rush. The buildings and their
contents are definitely an "endangered species"
as Mother Nature reclaims more yearly and
the CA State Budget threatens to CLOSE
over 100 of the State Parks.
So, GO This summer if you can..
..and experience YOUR history.
If you aren't familiar with Bodie
you can always check out some of the
Info and Videos on the
"Bodie or Bust" blog. Enjoy !
Here's just a "taste" of one short
video to wet your whistle at 8,400 feet....
The 3rd Sat of Sept & Oct will be
Photog Days where you can get in the
Park Early & stay Late to get that
Special "Quiet & First Light."
Info on the Bodie or Bust Blog.
So you too can say...
"Good, by God, I'm going to Bodie."
