airplane graveyard
|
between 1997 and 1999, i made several
visits to an aircraft graveyard in the
middle of california's mojave desert.
it's an incredible thing to walk right
up to these giant machines and see their
intricate workings laid bare.
black+white images were shot on kodak tri-x pan with a red #25 filter.
color was shot on fuji velvia with circular polarizer.
set also includes some shots from the military AMARC airplane graveyard in tucson, az. shot 1999.
2011 update: i've started rescanning all of my old airplane graveyard photos and re-editing them using current software, which is much more versatile than when i originally posted these shots six years ago. i've started replacing the shots with the updated edits and will start adding photos that were never posted before.
a note about access to the graveyard: all of these photos were taken in 1997-1999, when access at mojave airport was still possible. in the present post 9/11 security world we live in, access is not possible at all and photography is prohibited on airport property.
