Desert Trip

Another birthday trip out to Death Valley and the Nevada desert. Old favorites included Bodie ghost town, Badwater and the open road. This time we added some clowns, aliens, crashed airplanes in front of a brothel, a wicked storm and detour-inducing flash floods. Living in the city with no car, it's sometimes a nice wake-up to be at the complete mercy of nature (which is not an earthquake).

Fluorescent Fish









A quick trip to Palm Springs and the Salton Sea. Didn't find any of the abandoned motels I hoped for and the decaying yacht club was "sadly" refurbished. Dust to dust people...!

A Dip in the Devil's Bathtub

A Dip in the Devil's Bathtub from Alec Huxley on Vimeo.

Finally!! A year and a half in the making. Some may have seen the extended directors-cut. Most likely didn't make it through the whole thing. This FINAL edit does the adventure much more justice. A crisp 11 minutes encapsulates my three day stomp around the ghost towns and deadly, crumbling mining camps of Death Valley.
