In Western civilization every home has a chair. We sit in chairs around the dinner table, while working at our desk, during family gatherings, and while watching TV. Chairs are ubiquitous wherever people work, play, or live and are a part of our day-to-day lives. Yet we take them for granted, rarely giving them a second thought. They serve a utilitarian function and as long as they fulfill that function they become invisible to us as we go about out hectic lives.
Walking through the ghost towns that surround the Salton Sea is like walking through a post-apocalyptic world, remnants of people's lives are strewn in the streets and yards of the crumbling buildings that are everywhere, and in every building there is a chair, silent reminders that people where here, that this was their home.
The photos in this series were taken in three of the towns along the shore of the Salton Sea during two trips during the Springs of 2013, and 2014.
