Thanks to everyone for their comments.

Looking at other people's inspiring work in the LA Review, it is no
surprise that most other photogs are looking for newer, edgier stuff.

I am hoping that my retro-traditionalist approach to B&W will be the
newer, edgier stuff :-)

Nathan, wikipedia has an article on Salton Sea. In summary - it has
always been a come-and-go sea, based on the course of the rivers. It
was last created in 1905. In the 50s and 60s, there were vibrant
communities. However, with no natural outlet for the water, nor
constant inflow, the sea is dying, and so are the communities.

I need to go there again. There are many more communities around the Sea.

Thanks again.
