I tire of people constantly redoing images, it bores me to death..

When we were doing the edit for my show in March I thought it might be good to pop in a few images from my Salton Sea series (look here if you want to see). Its been quite a while since my day trips to the Salton and the sad truth is that I have never really exhibited the images as a whole even though there's a few popular ones with the lovely print buying people I call income. Usually I have no problem with going to, and finally, showing work from places usually over run with photographers. But the Salton Sea is different in so much that I regard it as being over photographed. In fact if I see another image of that flaming decayed caravan I will pop a nut (just google the salton sea).. It doesn't help that 90 percent of images I see from the Salton are utter pants and made with no real thought process or good usage of light and composition.
It does not matter how good an image is, if someone else has done a crappy version of it your impact is ruined and that is the very reason why most of this body of work will not see the light of day. There was even a point a few years back when I was offered a book deal on my Salton series, but there where just too many images (including books) of the place everywhere, but lets not go there..
