Thanks, y’all! This was the first shot in a long, cold night of shooting in a really cool area of mining ruins in the Mojave. Will get to processing more photos this weekend.

Really like the light painting in this. Subtle but still has evidence of your creative control. Sometimes I would rather spend a night inside that car than have to process images.

Another great series, Joe. I like seeing the landscape, which you don’t show in the junkyard photos. How did you find this particular spot?

Thanks, Kent. This area is a series of mining ruins in the Mojave that a friend helped guide us to. Lots of interesting context to place the subjects in.
