This photo was taken at Bodie CA. Bodie is the best preserved ghost town in California. Perhaps the country! Bodie was once a thriving gold mining town with 10000 residents in 1879. the image is of the interior of one dwellings located in the towns remains. The figure of the woman was cloned in using Photoshop. I luminated the center a little to give a ghostly glow, burned the corners and changed to B&W and sepia tone in an attempt to eliminate any distractions and add Drama...I hope the effect worked .....
