Description

For years I have driven past the abandoned Bartlett PPG Plant dreaming of an imagined day when I would have the kind of editorial career that would allow me a budget to shoot at such a location. July 3rd, 2013 I decided to stop just off US 395 gazing through the acres of high fence surrounding the Bartlett property giving serious consideration to possibly climbing over and taking that risk. And then I looked over to my right and saw a woman outside the building not 50 yards from where I stood feeding chickens! With every ounce of cojones I could pull into my throat I trotted through the open gate waving my arms to her “Hello”! I apologized profusely and explained my obsessive NEED to get inside that structure and asked if there was anyone I could contact for permission. To my utter disbelief she told me to come back at 8:00am the next morning, July 4th, and she would leave the padlock on the gate open for me. I found the cheapest crappy hotel I could in Lone Pine and lay awake most of the night through wild lighting and rain waiting for my 7:00am alarm to go off. I spent four hours inside the building alone with no supervision other than a barn own who swooped me a few times before I guessed I had overstayed my welcome and ventured around to the back of the building and spotted this chair.
