I had the pleasure of working with some really talented artists this last Tuesday!

The shot below will be entered into a contest for Paul Mitchell the School using only Cao Cosmetics.

The contest requirements were that the photo should represent 1 out of the 4 elements.

June 2, 2013 // Salton Sea II

There's always been something about the Salton Sea. 

Why do I have a connection to it? 

The Salton Sea smells, is deserted, it's hot, and basically, it's a graveyard for fish and pelicans.

But it's also breathtakingly interesting.

Curiosity drives me to stop at this one place to see if that chair is still there.

I stop to see what graffiti has been freshly painted.

I've photographed this exact spot several times, but the photos and the experience is never the same.

I almost lost a father

I love you dad

Words can't describe how amazed I am
