The rangers who work in the abandoned gold mining town of Bodie in California’s Sierra Nevada Mountains bring a touch of warmth to this ghost town’s windswept streets by placing jack-o-lanterns in two of the windows of the Cain Residence, the most elegant of Bodie’s semi-preserved houses. It came as an incongruous shock to see Mr. Cain’s windows come to life again with these illuminated faces. I made this image at dusk, structuring it as a geometrical study, using diagonals, along with repeating horizontals and verticals, to animate this haunted ruin of a house with a touch of the incongruous.
