Moon Over Nazca

As a kid, I loved Indiana Jones movies, and so I was excited to photograph the Aeropuerto de Nazca fuel truck used in one of those movies, now rusting away in a decommissioned WWII airfield, photographed on a cold February evening. I believe this is a 1937 Ford truck. This is a long exposure night photo which shows the movement of the stars over long periods of time. I illuminated the truck with a ProtoMachines LED2 handheld flashlight from camera right while the tripod-mounted camera's shutter was open. This will likely be featured in my next night photography book, which I'm working on now. Until then, my new book "Abandoned Southern California: the Slowing of Time" is out!
