Update 4/3/14 - This photo has been selected to appear in the Bodie Foundation's 2015 calendar. Congratulations to David Safanda, Franka Gabler, Cat Connor, Ryan Watamura, Tanya Bunch, and everyone who will have their work featured!

Bodie California is an old mining town which saw its boom com in the 1880s. Now a state historic park, everything is kept in a state of "suspended decay"

I'm leading at least five workshops in Bodie in 2014, three with remaining registration space:
May 3 - night
July 19 - night (full)
July 20 - interiors (full)
August 30 - night
August 31 - interiors

Thank you to the Bodie Foundation for selecting my photo for the cover of your 2017 calendar!

I can't wait for our 2016 workshop season in Bodie to start in June, so I can capture more sunrise, sunset and night shots in the park!

It's frustrating... I was looking for images from our interior access workshops in Bodie, and I found this image, which I apparently hadn't uploaded to Flickr yet. Unfortunately, the EXIF is missing, so I apparently downloaded it from a site which doesn't preserve that. I haven't located the original folder yet, but I'll keep an eye out for it.

Our last scheduled special access to Bodie State Historic Park for 2022 for building interior access was during our Eastern Sierra Fall Colors workshop October 10-14, 2022.

Most of our 2023 Bodie workshops are released for registration, visit our Web site for details.
