A victim of geography and hard-ball politics, the Salton Sea is California’s largest, most troubled lake. It lies 227 feet below sea level with no outlets and very thirsty neighbors, including a billion dollar farm economy in the bone-dry Imperial Valley, 124 golf courses, and salt laden wetlands hosting a menagerie of wildlife in growing crisis. With low levels of rainfall and only few inlets, the Salton Sea depends on the Imperial Valley’s agricultural run-offs for its survival.
Since my first visit in 1999, I returned many times to teach photo workshops, for an assignment for National Geographic magazine in 2006, and for personal exploration ever since. The opening photograph of the NatGeo story showed an assemble of sunken palm tress. Over the years, I have revisited the same remote spot to document its changes. This gallery shows a variety of photographs of that very same location today, seven years prior, ending with my initial photograph 14 years ago.
