Independence Ghost Town

Welcome to my first of many series featuring Ghost Towns. It’s only right that I start with one near my birth place, Aspen, Colorado. I will be doing Ashcroft next but need some better images, as I am not completely happy with what I have from my first photo visit. I have spent a lot of time in Ashcroft growing up, but since becoming more of a photographer, every time I go back it’s with a whole new vision. My middle name is even Ashcroft, named after a Ghost Town! Hope you enjoy, I have some exciting stuff in the works.

You can purchase these photographs on my SmugMug website at

I post my work pretty much daily here:
Website | facebook | Google+ | Tumblr | Twitter | Flickr | 500px | Stipple | Vimeo | Behance

Gear and tech for images: I used a Canon 7D with a Canon 17-40mm f/4 L. I use an Induro CT214 Tripod. Most shots are 3 shot 32bit HDR Blends.

I used to live near that area and have done wedding images at Ashcroft. It’s such a beautiful place. Good luck with your journey.

I too am drawn to derelict farm houses and ghost towns. Am off on a photo shoot in two weeks to try to capture some more of these. In particular, the town of Hammond in the sate of South Australia. Will be posting some of these images in late October. I will be far from any light pollution and so I am keen to try my hand at star trials etc and perhaps some light painting – God this is a lot of fun. Thanks for the images – great work and I will keep tabs on your future stuff
