We stopped by the visitor's center, and I just put it out there bluntly to this group of elderly staff that I wanted to explore and photograph the abandoned sites around the sea and where the best spots where. They were very helpful and this one woman suggested Bombay Beach. It rang a bell in my mind, I had heard of it before and that was where we decided to head.
Arriving there, we explored a little then finally parked at the beach. There are still people living there, a mixture of abandoned houses next to those that were occupied. It was an interesting feeling being there, like walking around in only a half decayed town. But we had success, and I went on my photo frenzy. Might I also mention, thank God for Gorillapods, love it. We'd found the place I was going to shoot at, and surprisingly but then not so much, we saw another group that was doing what looked like a fashion shoot too.
Very good day, long drive out there, but it was worth it.

Salton Sea Scope Out
Photography: Aaron Chang
I was walking around Huntington Beach with my bestie last week and we stumbled upon the works of Aaron Chang hanging in a small gallery looking space. To be honest, I have no idea what the whole purpose of the building is for, but they decide to have nice beachy art up on occasion. So last week, my friend and I were greeted by large, glassy, vibrant prints of the beach which we drank in religiously. Not too much, otherwise we might have been caught trying to snag, one of the prints...or two. I've never been to Hawaii, let alone gone surfing (how can I ever be called a Californian, I don't know), but this deliciously feeds my desire (and choice of vocabulary I'm noticing) to go even more so.
