"Lonely Road"

"Lonely Road"

The only thing missing is a person walking on the line, in the middle of the road/shot.  I think that would tell a story or two for some. 

Shot in Chloride, Arizona as part of my yet to be titled and on-going project (or projects) from America's western states.  Rushing to catch my plane (spoke of this in an earlier post from the same day), I envisioned this old road from one of my standard angles - hopped out of the car - good ole' boy music playing in the background - and snapped.  I also have the same picture as a black and white.

"The Pump"

"The Pump"

Chloride, Arizona.  In the mid 90's, I took a picture of this before I adopted the profession as my career.  It was always one of my favorites, even had it blown up and framed.  Needless to say I was pleased it still existed upon my return in 2010.  Still old, still cool.  This is soon to be offered to the public on my standard museum-quality giclee (canvas).

"Gas Station"

"Gas Station"

Another in the series of images shot in Chloride, Arizona.  Unsure if this is a working gas station or just for looks, it made for an interesting picture nonetheless.  I remembered this clearly from my visit years earlier - which I thought was about 7 years ago but the more I think about it, it may have been in the mid 90's while on a trip with my Father, also to Las Vegas.

"Chloride Cemetery"

"Chloride Cemetery"

Chloride, Arizona...a small, old, lonely town located roughly 50 miles from the Hoover Dam.  Good luck finding the turn-off from the lonely, old highway it's located off of.  But if you do and you have a vivid imagination, this town will take you back to the old west - the days of saloons, gunfights and a bit of Clint Eastwood.  This shot is self-explanatory and taken while in a rush to catch my flight at McCarran Airport so didn't have the time to check out the headstones but rest assured, some of those dates would have been interesting.
