A few years ago, I had a chance to get into Bodie after a snowfall. Bodie was nothing like I had ever seen before. The warm color of the wooden structures stood... out against a carpet of stark white snow and a clear cerulean blue sky. It looked like Christmas morning, or even a painting! And on top of that, there was hardly anyone there to disturb the snow with footprints. I have since been thinking of planning another trip right after a snowstorm and before it becomes impassable for the winter. Some day!!! This was shot on Fuji Velvia 100 iso medium format film. The color saturation is the famed characteristic of the Velvia. See more
