Cheryl McDonald Interview - "Abandonment Issues"
Channel: Maturango Museum
Date: 2013-07-27

I have been photographing the desert for almost 3 years and am fascinated by the abandoned towns. There is a voyeuristic quality about discovering what has been left behind. What we choose to take with us when we move is very often based on necessity and what gets left can make an interesting statement about the culture and life processes of a society. Many of these images are of windows or views through windows. The photos are of Randsburg, Dogpatch, Bodie, Death Valley Junction, and an area off Hwy 395."
