The Salton Sea
- The Salton Sea
- I had wanted to visit the Salton Sea for a number of years. Finally, while on vacation in Palm Springs in 2009, I was able to sneak away for a one day field trip. I hope to have to have the opportunity to revisit this surreal landscape again in the future.
Description
Once marketed as an inland beach getaway to the Palm Springs martini set, the Salton Sea now lays claim to being the site of one of the greatest man made disasters in US History. When one visits today, they are left to experience the haunted remains of a paradise past. These photographs are my testament to the beauty of that decay.

Greening The Bridges
There is an area not far from Vancouver that I find to be incredibly intriguing in a visual sense. However, every time that I would pass it, I would be doing just that, passing it. Finally, in December of 2011, I was able to stop and really explore it. Much to my surprise, this just happened to be the day that the hills were being sprayed with a brilliant green grass seed which adds an extra element of surrealism to this already bizarre landscape.
