Before committing full-time to photography, Ed Freeman's day job was managing the Beatles' final tour. After a few other musical odd-jobs, which include contributing guitar arrangements to Carly Simon and Don McLean records, Freeman left the music industry and completely switched to fine art and commercial photography. His latest collection, Desert Reality, captures the remaining buildings from the once-booming Southern California desert cities around the Salton Sea, not far from the Mexican border. [via Ignant]
