A trip to the Salton Sea

In: Books & Spreads

12 Apr 2010

As a parting bachelor party, I was going to New York. After having trouble with the flight me and two friends decided we would just make a small road trip out to Salton Sea because we had heard there were interesting things out there, including a painted man-made mountain of love, a large body of water in California, and some run-down buildings. We ended up camping at night just outside of the Salton Sea, east of Indio, in Joshua Tree national park, except we didn’t want to pay for 4 hours for camping. It was cold and we didn’t want to waste an hour setting up a cold tent. So we camped in the parking lot of the outskirts of both  the north side of the Salton Sea and Joshua Tree. It was crazy. Not as crazy as a bagel shop manager getting hit by a car, but nonetheless interesting. I took photographs of the sights and made a book of it.

Below are some photos of the book…
