I made over a thousand images during my two days of shooting at Bannack. In editing them for this photo-essay, it was important to keep in mind that each image I selected must be distinctively different from the others. For example, I had made at least a couple of hundred shots of just the abandoned rooms within the various structures. All of them evoked the past, yet I chose only three of them for this essay. This one, made with a 20mm wideangle focal length, evokes the past most expressively because of the old sink left standing alone among the empty rooms of this house. I liked the way the light plays along the floorboards, the bluish color of the window light echoing the blue sink itself.
