:: Going to Bodie ::
35mm film. Bodie, California.
Bodie is considered one of the best preserved ghost towns in the country. Sitting at a high elevation in the Eastern Sierra’s, in a state of arrested decay, these high altitudes have helped preserve much of the remaining materials and buildings. You can see the entire Bodie Flickr set here.

:: Mr Fusion x U Drop Inn ::
While visiting the U Drop Inn in Shamrock, TX., earlier this fall on a Route 66 journey, we were presented with some lucky timing and joined by the DeLorean Time Machine.

:: Kelinci Series : Japan : pt 21 ::
It’s been over 6 months since Kelinci last checked in with us, and for those of you just now catching wind of this miscreant cotton-tail, let us indulge you in the world wide photo-journey that we embarked on a few years ago. Without skipping a beat, Kelinci has proven himself to be quite the wanderlust frequenting everything from mountain tops, to exotic tropic isles.
Today we catch up with Kelinci as he settles into one of the busiest places on Earth – Japan
Below we see him taking a break amongst the notoriously busy intersection of Shibuya, which reportedly sees upwards of 1 Million people crossing through the intersection every day.
Next, we see Kelinci taking in a bit of Japan’s rich cultural history at the Nagoya Castle. Constructed in the early 1600’s, it is considered one of the three greatest castles in Japan, and parts of it are still undergoing reconstruction with total completion set for 2018. Nagoya is Japan’s 4th most populated city.
Finally, we catch a glimpse of our friend at Tsukiji fish market, which is the largest wholesale fish and seafood market in the world. The markets process over 700,000 metric tons of seafood every year, comprising of over 400 different types of seafood. Even though Kelinci doesnt eat meat, they have some tasty seaweed there we hear, so we’re sure a full belly ensued.

:: Blakeley Schoolhouse ::
the Blakeley Schoolhouse was built in 1920, amongst nearly 100 other similar sized & regional one-room schoolhouses, which served an important, fundamental, and singular purpose – educating the youth of the particular community it was constructed in. This particular schoolhouse was paid for by the Julius T. Rosenwald Negro School Fund. Thus, it was a landmark public institution that would serve its tiny community for decades.

:: Cadillac Ranch ::
Cadillac Ranch sits along I-40 in Amarillo, Texas. In 1973 a local millionaire by the name of Stanley Marsh 3 commissioned the installation which was created by local art group Ant Farm.
The Cadillacs represent different evolutions of the car, specifically from 1949-’63, and they are buried at an angle corresponding to that of the Great Pyramids of Giza
