'Here I am in one of my most FAVORITE places in California, the Salton Sea and Bombay Beach areas.'
Learning about new places and locations is one of my favorite parts of working on the site. Dr. Derrol has taken FH viewers to many different scenic locals on both the East and West coasts.. Derrol has stripped down to shoot deep in the woods in Maine and in the California deserts and beautiful sandy beaches.
These images were taken in the Salton Sea area by Derrol's friend Zach. (ZDVisions) I'd heard of the Salton Sea but had to head to wiki to find about more about the shallow, landlocked body of water in the city of Riverside California. The Salton Sea lies on the San Andreas Fault within the Salton Trough and stretches all the way to the Gulf of California in Mexico.
Zach and Derrol first connected several years ago when they used to work together. They quickly became friends and began going on regular hikes together. Zach is an artist and photographer, and given he's straight, he didn't really have much interest in adding naked male models to his portfolio. Derrol decided he'd change that!
During one of their many hikes, Derool shared with Zach his work as a model, and his love of taking nude shots. After getting to know one another, Derrol became comfortable stripping down and taking some selfies when they'd hit a great location during their hikes. At first, Zach just observed, but one day, after watching Derrol struggle to set up his camera, offered to take the shot. Both Zach and Derrol were always on the lookout for new locations and before long, Zach was regularly shooting Derrol on their hikes.
There are so many ruins there as well as abandoned buildings and houses. It’s the ideal spot for some fun photos and my friend Zach. He's always willing to take the shots for me. He once watched me try to balance my camera on a rock to take the perfect picture and being the very good friend he is, offered to start being my photographer!
