    Salton Sea of the Midwest // on film

    by Kaylah Stroup May 12, 2015

    Back in March Jeff, Jason and I discovered a former vacation spot beside a lake that was full of abandoned trailers. That day I shot with both my pentax k1000 and my 60D (…and my land camera because what can I say, I apparently love to juggle cameras.)

I wasn’t 100% positive I would share these since I already posted photos of this place but the film gives off a whole different vibe than the digital images. The film photos are so much grittier and while I don’t necessarily think that is accurate to how this place actually felt, it sure does look good!

     
    I’m looking forward to getting back here some time this summer and seeing it all grown up and green.
    xoxo

    All of the photos above were taken with a Canon T2 and Fujifilm 35mm Superia X-TRA 400.

I’ve been living in the city for around a year and half now, and honestly couldn’t imagine living anywhere else but there will always be a part of me that loves the country. Along those same lines, I love shooting abandoned buildings, and gritty city stuff …
