Hotel 35 - Limited Edition 2 of 40 Photograph

I spent 10 years photographing a mining town that was the second largest city west of the Mississippi River at the turn of the 20th century. Today it is a representation of the backyard of American society. I dropped everything to move to this town to document a city lost in time before things changed...renovations and demolitions, even just more people discovering this 'Lost City of Atlantis' sort of place. When I would first step into a building, my footprints made a mark on the floor that had years of dust left behind. This image is from the first stage of the project where I photographed the interiors of 48 buildings over a period of 4 years. I usually spent a month or more in each building. This location, Hotel 35, was filled with untouched artifacts from the past. Beds, curtains, every day products from the 40s..even a few letters written to a senator. I used a Pentacon Six film camera with Fuji Velvia film. The image looks beautiful printed on both a fine art matte paper as well as Moab's Slickrock Metallic Pearl (which reminds me of the old fuji cibachrome prints.) My hope is that it arouses your curiosity and sense of wonder of the quiet spaces that still surround us.
