Salvation Mountain

I have some grand plans for varying the content of this blog, but they mostly require a scanner and/or more dedication so for now I'm still posting straight-up photographs.

I visited Salvation Mountain while in CA, and I loved it. LOVED it.
Not even the place itself so much, but the area around it and its history and Salvation Mountain is just like the cherry on top. To get there I drove through Niland and past the Salton Sea and stopped at Bombay Beach, a tiny town I saw a documentary about last year. It was all amazing, probably my favourite place in California.

Coney Island

For christmas I was given a book of Peter Granser's Coney Island photos, which are starkly different to the photos I took at Coney Island in December. Which is not surprising, given these are winter shots of an area that was quite severely affected by Sandy. This is only a small selection because I mostly shot slide film which I haven't scanned yet. It's easy to like Ganser's images more (probably because they are better) but I enjoy comparing the two interpretations of the place.
