Renewed Energy

As many times as I have been to ghost towns, there is none quite like Vulture. There is enough there to find something new every time and to keep my interest. Bodie was interesting but it is too crowded, Vulture on the other hand is not crowded, you may only see a few people throughout the day. That makes it ideal for shooting large format because you can take your time, go at whatever pace you wish, wander around and shoot as you like. It is a great place to shoot.
There are a couple of holes in the chicken wire in the assay office that are large enough to shoot through. I made a couple of negatives in there. This one I like a lot, the other one it seems I had forgotten to level the camera and when straightened it was not so good.
I did some preliminary prints of 4 negatives yesterday. A couple may be the final prints, I need to sit down and look at them closely now. The 2 from yesterday were printed, neither for today.
I find it fascinating that one week things were hard to find, the next week I was making choices between multiple good shots. No clue what was different but it was certainly nice to be in the zone again.
