Window, Bodie, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger.

This is a photograph of reflections (mostly of the old Standard Mill) in a window of the Bodie ghost town. My intent was to render a painterly, and almost abstract, image—grounded with the concrete frame of the window.

I was in Bodie with the rare privilege of photographing at night, thanks to the graciousness of Lance Keimig and his Finding Your Way in the Dark workshop. Night or day, there’s plenty to photograph in Bodie.
