Desert Shores, CA
Population: ~1,100
Once a thriving resort town along the western coast of the Salton Sea, its heyday being in the 1950-1960s, Desert Shores has deteriorated over the decades largely due to the residual effects of Salton Sea contamination.
Currently, there are several restoration projects underway and planned by local and state agencies, including water restoration to the marina.
I spent an afternoon capturing photographs of the town and had some good encounters with locals as well.
B/W photos were captured on Kodak Tri-X 400 film with a Voigtlander Bessa R4M camera and a Voigtlander 40mm F1.4 Nokton Classic
lens. Color photos were captured digitally on a Sony A7Cii camera and a Voigtlander Color-Skopar 21mm F4 MC lens.
All Photographed 11/9/25
