Pareidolia is a psychological phenomenon that predisposes humans to decipher a face in patterns or inanimate objects. Some might say that it is evidence of paranoia, or a fear of being judged. I see faces all of the time when I am out photographing random patterns.
​
This one called to me as a peering face emerging from a sponge patterned lava boulder. Watching for what? Any answer would lead to many paths. Since we all return to the earth perhaps it whispers, “See you later.”

The ghost town of Bodie was once a thriving gold mining town, lawless nonetheless. The boom began in 1876 and lasted until 1880. The town's activity slowed approaching 1912. The end was near after the closing of the Standard Stamp Mill in 1913. The last residents abandoned the town in 1943. What is left today is preserved as an historical site by the National Park Service.

This is still my favorite place to shoot film. The image is from my interpreted landscape abstractions group. A textured filter and random stamp was used during processing.
