Spotlight on the Salton Sea

Wikipedia: The Salton Sea is a shallow, landlocked body of water that has a high concentration of salts in Riverside and Imperial counties, on the San Andreas Fault at the southern end of the U.S. state of California. It lies within the Salton Trough that stretches to the Gulf of California in Mexico.

The Desert Sun hired me, a young photojournalist, in 1998 and I fell in love with Southern California landscapes. The Salton Sea was a big surprise to those fresh eyes. I've been documenting the sea ever since and this is an essay of those photos. https://t.co/TKOEroFsAp pic.twitter.com/8YJ0trd46R
