Once upon a time, I dreamed of living in Tonopah. It is centrally located for those who enjoy traveling through the Mojave and Great Basin deserts. The town today has a population of around 2000. It was a town built on gold and silver mining, and it now relies on the history of those mines (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNPstyrjGOw).
I stayed a couple of days in Tonopah when the weather turned cold and wet. The inclement weather allowed me to walk the town and capture these images.
Every town needs a cemetery. The First Tonopah Cemetery was open for only about 10 years before all 300 spaces were occupied.
A car wash is available.
And Mac’s offers a haircut.
The town laundromat.
Diversity of opinion is allowed.
Opportunities abound for those interested in relocation.
The Mizpah Hotel provides visitors with lodging and offers a sense of the place’s history (https://themizpahhotel.com).
Besides gasoline, the town has a charging station.
These images were created with the Nikon FM3a. I used the Nikkor AIS 50mm F1.2 and the Voigtlander Color-Skopar 28mm F2.8 Lenses. I developed the film in Rodinal (1:25) for 7 minutes at 20 °C. I scanned the film with the PrimeFilmXEs using both VueScan and SilverFast.

Interesting! This is my type of town with plenty of topics to photograph.
