The Classroom

Bodie, CA located at over 8000 feet altitude in the Eastern Sierra Nevada, is one of the best preserved ghost towns in the country. Now a State Historic Park, at the end of the 19th century Bodie was the second largest town in California (after San Francisco). As a gold and silver mining town it had its heydays around 1879.

Having visited Bodie a couple of times before, finally in April of 2013 I paid for a permit to enter seven buildings. The Elementary School was one of them. A monitor was with me and understandably I had to adhere to a lot of rules, as to not damage anything. I had to fold my tripod each time as I moved around, and couldn't touch cobwebs or dust on the old furniture. I took this photo from the view point of the teacher, also making sure that the view outside is visible.

This fine art is offered in an open edition at 18x12 inch and smaller. There are 4 size-limited editions of 30 (24x16 inch), 20 (36x24 inch), 15 (60x40 inch) and 10 arbitrarily-sized images. When ordered framed, it will have default a barnwood frame: 2 3/4 inch wide moulding for the 24x16" and smaller, 3 1/2 inch wide moulding for the 36x24" and up. Please contact me through email or phone if you're interested in other options, for example a different frame or different size.
