That's my 2nd time going down to the Salton Sea. First time was 2 years ago and I went to the west side instead of Bombay Beach which is on the east side of the sea. Honestly I think I prefer the west side and Desert Shores. Sounds weird saying it, with the whole area looking like something you'd see in an apocalyptic movie, but I feel like Bombay Beach is the commercialized side with festivals and art shows and the other towns are wastelands.
Found my post from the first time there.
The whole area of Palm Springs/Salton Sea/Joshua Tree makes for some real dope photography options. I'm a solo shooter and don't really like shooting people, but you can get some really great photos with models out there.
