Hi All,
I was passing by Calico Ghost Town the other week on the way back from Vegas and decided to stop by. It was just around five in the afternoon and the sun was getting low. Most people had left for the day and we just managed to slip in. It was great, quiet and a just a little creepy!! This is an old silver mining town in the Californian Mojave desert off Interstate 15. A great place to get some photos of a bit of western history!! I have posted some up on my 500PX site and on fine art site too.
Take a look and let me know what you think…
Here’s a bit from Wikapedia on Calico:
Calico is a ghost town and former mining town in San Bernardino County, California, United States. Located in the Calico Mountains of the Mojave Desert region of Southern California, it was founded in 1881 as a silver mining town, and today has been converted into a county park. Located off Interstate 15, it lies 3 miles (4.8 km) from Barstow and 3 miles from Yermo. Giant lettersspelling CALICO can be seen on the Calico Peaks behind the ghost town from the freeway. Walter Knott purchased Calico in 1950s, architecturally restoring all but the five remaining original buildings to look as they did in 1880s. Calico received California Historical Landmark #782

Hi All,
I recently changed the look to my photo web site mikehopephotos.com I think you might enjoy it!! Feel free to take a look and let me know what you think. I am taking more shots with the Canon 6D and 24 – 105mm lens as well as the Canon EOS-M, which is great for quick shots on the go. I am really liking the 6D and am going to take a few more shots with the 40mm pancake. This is a fun lens for portrait and DOF shots. Real sharp for a great price too!! Anyway nuff for now, and let me know what you think of the new site!
Hope you like the photos!!

Hi All,
Here is the Redondo Beach Home Sales for our area in December 2013. Sales were picking up quite well and Townhome sales were up. Prices crept up too… The forcast for the new year is for a slight slowing trend but with the anticipated rise in interest rates there is still a push to get that bargain buy! For more information check out Cecily Lee’s site at cecilylee.com or call Cecily Lee on 310-376-5673

Hi everyone,
Hope you are having a great new year and all great things happen in 2014!! Here is a quick one of a real nice Ford Hot-Rod caught on the weekend bike ride. This was in great condition and looked fantastic! I had to stop to get a shot!! Taken with the Canon EOS-M
Hope you like it!
Hi All,
Took this by the Manhattan Beach Pier last weekend. I was on a bike ride with my new Canon 6D (Gotta Luv it!!) and 24-105mm L series. Wow what a difference a full frame makes!! I was absolutely blown away with the depth of color and clarity!! I am really happy with the camera and am going to be experimenting with the different functions and lenses. Course it’s a whole different game now and I really have to save the pennies for those Canon lenses. Have to try some of the off market and bargains just for the fun of it. Just got the very reasonable 40mm Pancake and havn’t tried it yet. Better for street and portraits, so they say!! I will update you when I have a chance to try it out!!
Thanks again for taking a look and let me know what you think of the photo!!

Hi everyone,
Hope you are having a great holiday season. I just reworked one of my latest photos with some film noir filters and quite like the result. I thought you might like to take a look and let me know what you think.
I have also put it on fineartamerica just in case you feel like putting it on you wall. That would be nice 🙂 Anyway, let me know what you think and have a wonderful holiday season…
Mike Hope
