Bodie Photo Essay

August 12, 2020 2 Comments

In 2001 I audited a photography class at the local college. The class used manual cameras and dark room processing. Our final project was a photo essay containing a minimum of three photographs. Most people choose topics such as kids eating messy meals. Leave it to me to do a photo essay on a ghost town!

The obvious end for the people and town

While going through the photography my class and project grade sheet fell out. I have no idea why I held onto it. The teacher later became a friend of mine. We went through pregnancy and babies together. Now the kids are graduating or are Seniors. How time passes.

My grade sheet.

I came across these photos during the Great Covid Clean-out of 2020. A few were displayed in my house and became faded, but the rest have been in storage for 19 years.

    I’ve always loved the one of the window with the torn curtains! One of your first, and best. 😊

      Thank you, it’s one of my favorites too. I can’t believe it’s almost 20 years ago!
