395 Revisited, Again

During the time of my Master's thesis project 

I was determined to make something here.

One trip out to Lone Pine I stopped and sat

waiting for someone to show up. 

No one arrived, left, or even wandered by

during the best time while the sky was still aglow. 

Before I packed up my camera to continue on I made this exposure.

For me this gas station has always been a symbol of a trip on 395.

It is usually the moment when I actually roll onto

the pavement of 395 from CA-14. 

As far as I know it is the last Mobil gas station

to still have the Pegasus logo lit each night.

Cherries

I made this image a long time ago. It was published as a poster and sold all over the world.

Every once in a while I will get a Google alert that somebody, somewhere is trying to sell their framed version on ebay.

The Secret Life Of Koi

At the main entrance of the Mauna Lani Hotel on the island of Hawaii there is a fantastic collection of Koi fish. Often I will be seen there taking in the kinetic energy of the water made by the fish as they scramble for food tossed in.

I have spent hours there making photographs with different cameras. The one I used here is a Holga camera. By deliberately not advancing the film enough each time I made images overlap. This blending together of exposures created one long strip of film without the typical breaks between frames. 

Once the film was developed I scanned it. Then, I bookended and overlapped two versions of the image. By masking out one side I revealed this strange yet captivating image. 

Kind of a Rorschach test to the max.

What do you see here?
