Bombay Beach

Bombay beach on the coast of the Salton Sea is a trippy place.  Over 200 feet below sea level and all of 5 by 5 short blocks of motor homes and boarded up crumbling homes.  The real prize is over the berm protecting the town from the sea.  Apparently back in the 70’s the sea overflowed a number of times and buried a few blocks of houses feet deep in sand and salt. They’ve been decaying ever since.  It’s like something out of a zombie movie.  Here’s what’s left.

Day 100: Dancer

Yaay! 100 days in. 265 to go. Got my 50/1.2 back from Canon today so I thought I’d see how all that lovely bokeh, which I paid handsomely for, looks when it’s done on purpose.

Day 97: Edward Tufte

Edward Tufte has been on my wish list for years now and today I got the chance to shoot him at his private sculpture garden in Woodbury, CT. Two birds, one stone.

If you don’t know who he is, educate yourself.  Tufte has written multiple groundbreaking books on visual information design, in some ways inventing the field itself. He is also an accomplished sculptor of many large scale works.
