Clay Lipsky says that photography is a passion not my profession. Graphic design is his trade. His Between Here and Nowhere series refers to a road between here & nowhere that cuts a path through a barren landscape that is inhospitable to most.

The series is about the rural decay scattered throughout the Mojave Desert to the toxic shores of the man-made Salton Sea and it focuses on documenting the ways mankind had altered this environment.
Lipsky says that:
I feel that my style is constantly evolving as skills and inspirations change. Although I follow a digital workflow, I generally do not use Photoshop to alter my works.The majority of my looks are derived in camera, with changes to color and tone coming out in the mix while developing the camera RAW files. Being a child of the analog era, I try to remain somewhat of a purist,meanwhile embracing the digital tools that are propelling the artform.
The ongoing Between Here and Nowhere series explores the reminders of civilized life here on the fringe of society along a road of broken dreams.
