"Goodbye God, I'm going to Bodie." - 19th century schoolgirl
This famous quote is attributed to a little girl who wrote this in her diary after she learned her family would be moving to the infamous town of Bodie.
A self portrait or rather a photograph of my back as I look toward Bodie ghost town.

I got this shot by extended the legs of my tripod to lower it until my camera was literally inches off the ground. Lying on my belly I set the proper hyperfocal distance setting to gain the greatest depth of field (basically everything from front to back is in focus and sharp).
After I got done taking this shot a couple of photographers "were in line" to get a similar composition. I laughed and moved on to my next shot.

Bodie's colorful past of wild saloons, daily killings and robberies still come alive in this ghost town of "arrested decay." It was rumoured that at least one murder was committed every day before sunrise.

As rowdy as Bodie was with its 65 saloons, I'm sure many of its residents spent some time here.
