The End..

It’s been 20 years since I started photographing the Salton Sea (that fact possibly mentioned on here many times), but the pull is always there every time I head East. Its a place that is always changing but somehow stays the same. The recent ‘discovery’ of Lithium in the area used for EV batteries is an interesting one, but I am doubtful the money it will produce will benefit the poorest people in the state. You only have to look at the Tropico mine in the Mojave to see that the surrounding area is a complete hole of a place. My guess is that the area, in particular the lake itself, will become even more polluted than it was before, perhaps finishing off the locals. Maybe this really is the end of the road for the Salton Sea, but I doubt anyone cares.
