Bodie State Park , California

Limited Edition Fine Art Print | © Mike Wardynski Photography

Bodie State Park is perhaps the best preserved ghost town in the United States. It's so well preserved that some of the buildings serve as park residences. The rest of the building are preserved in a state of arrested decay. Located in the Eastern Sierra Nevada mountains of California, one can only imagine what it was like to live there during its peak.

Bodie became a gold rush boomtown in 1875 and rapidly grew to a population of 7,000 to 10,000 people with over 2,000 structures. The boom was short lived though and by 1920 the town's population was recorded at 120 people. Despite the loss of most of its population Bodie had a functional post office until 1942. In 1961 the ghost town became a National Historic Landmark and in 1962 it became a California State Park with 170 buildings remaining. Today only 110 buildings remain due to a number of wildfires. The church in this photograph was built in 1882 and is the only remaining church in Bodie.

A special permit was obtained to photograph the church and star trails since Bodie is only open to the public during the day. Please do not trespass if you do not have a permit to be there at night.

Modern Series | High gloss metal prints in external float frame

Metal prints have quickly become one of the most popular substrates for landscape photography. These prints are created through a process called dye sublimation in which dyes are infused directly into a specially coasted metal sheet. This technique produces a print that has higher brightness than paper resulting in enhanced saturation and smooth tones. Metal prints are surprisingly light and very easy to care for. They do not need to be protected by glass and come ready to hang in an external float frame that gives the print a modern look as it floats within a thin frame. Metal prints can easily be cleaned with regular household glass cleaner. They are UV resistant to ensure that your prints longevity.
