The Salton Sea
We took a road trip within our road trip to check out the Salton Sea. It was an eleven hour drive door to door. A long day but totally worth it!
A bunch of photographers have done great work in this area. Check out Aaron Huey’s photos on Instagram: argonautphoto and newyorkerphoto Also, his web site: www.aaronhuey.com
I’d love to go back and spend some time photographing.
- Alice, trying to frame a alien landscape.
Abandoned building along the edge of the sea.

Joshua Tree
The story goes, Mormon pioneers thought the limbs of the Joshua Tree looked like the outstretched arms of Joshua leading them to the promised land. That’s how the tree got it’s name.
Uplift and erosion. There are granite rock formations of all shapes and sizes scattered throughout the park.

I posted a similar scene on November 9, 2013. That photo was made with a digital camera. This one with a Holga and black and white film. I applied a bit of color with Marshall’s oil paints and pencils. Montreal along the Saint-Lawrence River.
