Palm Springs

This is the Palm Springs Welcome Center, an old gas station from the 60s and a classic example of Googie architecture







Forgive me, I am still trying to figure out a way to make all this look organized, but for the time being at least I got some pictures up!

Vegas Sign Graveyard!!!

 All the things I love about Vegas summed up in the above photo

This "L" for Lady Luck was featured in National Lapoon's Vegas Vacation, they ended up building a railing on the "L", as seen in the photo, so when they girls danced on top they wouldn't get hurt

The old letters of the StarDust Hotel

The day I was there, they said Carrie Underwood was here yesterday, filming a video infront of this Sassy Sally's sign

The Salton Sea

One interesting place in CA that not a lot of people know about is the Salton Sea. The Salton Sea is an inland Saline lake, occupying the some of the lowest elevations in our country. Throughout the 50s and 60s, the Salton Sea was THE vacation destination for Southern Californians, drawing the likes of 4 million boaters per year. In the 70s, a giant flood wiped many of the small resort towns off the map, and since then, everything out there has since deteriorated. The Salton Sea is now filled with deserted towns, grids of paved streets with no houses, boarded up hotels and abandoned Yacht clubs. A really creepy place, but definitely a photographers dream.
