Zzyzx Palm Heaven

Photo Location: ZZyzx, CA

The name "ZZYZX" was coined by a colorful and controversial figure named Curtis Howe Springer, a self-proclaimed minister and radio personality who settled there in the 1940s. He claimed the land, built a spa and resort called the Zzyzx Mineral Springs and Health Spa, and broadcast radio programs promoting his various herbal remedies and health products. He invented the name "Zzyzx" himself, reportedly wanting to create the last word in the English language. For decades he operated there without proper authorization, and the federal government eventually evicted him in 1974 for illegally occupying public land. Image copyright © Jongas Fine Art Photography.

Meet The Artist

Meet Eddie Jongas — Modern Fine Art Photography

Eddie Jongas is a modern fine art photographer based in Las Vegas, Nevada — a self-taught artist who picked up a camera during one of the hardest periods of his life and found that travel and photography had a way of putting things back together.

In the years since, he has driven through 48 states, photographed in 15 countries, and covered more than 700,000 miles in pursuit of the image that earns a second look. The work spans the landscapes of the American West, the cities of the USA and Europe, the California coast, the forests of the Pacific Northwest, and the canyon country of the Southwest.

His goal has never been to sell a print. It has been to stop you long enough to remember that the real thing — whatever is in the photograph — is worth going to see in person.
