Yesterday I drove from Needles, CA to Calico, CA, which is a few miles away form Barstow, CA. I followed Route 66 for most of the day and passed through Esses, Goffs, Fenner, Amboy, Danby, Cadiz Summit, Amboy, Ludlow, Newberry Springs and Daggett. It was really a full day of driving and shooting. I ended up filling two 8GB Compact Flash cards and had to offload some images in order to start a fresh card. Above are a few random images I shot yesterday. I have two more days to make my way to Los Osos, CA where I'll be presenting a week-long Advanced Photoshop for Photographers workshop.
...and you'd be amazed at how much they charge for fuel when you're in the middle of nowhere.
I'll bet that old Airstream has some stories to tell. I like the composition for that one.
I guess that number kit for the gas pricing board was light on 4's! The owner has no doubt stocked up on Sharpies.
