"DESOLATION CALIFORNIA" is a book of evocative photographs taken by multi-medium artist Adam Watts as he journeyed through the arid southern terrain of Joshua Tree down to the decaying and abandoned shores of the Salton Sea.

Contemplative, gritty and saturated with an earthy soulfulness, these photos take you on a visceral trip along the forgotten underbelly of the California dream. Experience this western state in a way that is seldom seen or talked about.
