What was once an old ghost town from the gold rush days of the 1850s and 1860s, Nelson’s old buildings and cars preserve a slice of Americana that has been lost to time. This is one of those must visit places you have never heard of if you’re ever in Nevada. What a pleasant and exciting surprise to come across this town, with nearly endless photographic opportunities around every corner.

All photos were taken on film 35mm and 120 film, using an assortment of film stocks including Portra 160 and 400, Ektar 100, Ektachrome E100, and Velvia 50.
