Wanna be in pictures?   Are you a professional photographer???

El Mirage Dry Lake is a famous location for desert scenes and western movies.  Rock videos, automobile commercials...  they all come here from around the world.

Since this is publicly owned land there is a permit required for professional imagery of any kind, photos or videos.   The land belongs to the American people and the fees go to maintain the beauty and landscape that is being captured.

Will write more on this topic later.  If you plan to shoot for any length of time an RV can be a real blessing.   Restrooms are really basic, no running water.   The air temps get down into the 50's this time of year but standing in the sun can feel like a heatwave.   Wind and dust happen most days.   Mornings are usually pretty calm but that changes quickly as the sun heats the lake bed and thermals start rising.
