Calico – Andy Johnny Young

I have not had chance to do anything constructive new photography-wise recently due to ‘real life’. Luckily I had a good friend of mine come visit me at the weekend who brought along a hard-drive I have been dying to get my hands on. The drive was packed full of videos and stills from a West Coast trip of USA in 2010.

The idea was to edit all the video footage into some coherent story that hits the highlights. With having very little experience putting the video together I decide to shirk that and edit some photos instead. I have no idea who took any of the photos I’m uploading, I think we all had a helping hand in them.

This set of photos are from our visit to an old silver mining town of Calico via Joshua Tree. The place was the hottest and driest place I have ever been too. Everything you touched was scalding hot, even the iPhones had closed themselves down due to the excessive heat. I have no idea how people use to be able to work in that heat.
