An Affaire Of Art

My date yesterday was a real doll and she was so amazed first seeing the Assemblage Art of my friend Lauretta Lowell. You can be too, when you go see her today as the featured artist at the Art Affaire in Rancho Mirage. Over 100 artists displaying their works in a beautiful outdoor setting with live music all day. Go on out there and check out Lauretta. It will all come in to focus so take a credit card with you. You might want to take some of the fun home! http://www.ranchomirageca.gov/art-affaire/

Let’s See More Like This

Store window displays can be fun. But why don’t we see more people dressed like this with such great hair too. Be adventuresome I say! Along El Paseo in Palm Desert.

“Featured Artist” Rancho Mirage Art Affaire

Recently I had the great experience of photographing Lauretta Lowell. Lauretta is an incredibly talented artist who will be the “Featured Artist” at the 14th annual Rancho Mirage Art Affaire this weekend. Her art is in mixed media assemblages but she is equally talented in painting and other art genres. But even more, she is an incredible personality who has overcome great tragedy. Read about Lauretta and also see more of the photographs in a feature for Palm Springs Life Magazine, Palm Springs California. Here is the link to that story.. http://tinyurl.com/m9hc5oy Thanks!

A big Thank You to Blanche LeBeau who did a wonderful job of Makeup and Hair Styling. And along with her assistant Emma Mesrobian did so much to help organize the scenes and wardrobe and made it all great fun. Thank You!

“Six Dance Lessons In Six Weeks”

Still photography on a motion picture? Yes that is what I did in Budapest for seven weeks last year on the production of “Six Dance Lessons For Six Weeks”. Many of you may have seen this full page in your Sunday newspapers yesterday. The still photography is used for movie posters, advertising, public relations and so much more. Great Fun! So go see the movie when it is released in December! And no you won’t see me in it. It was my job to stay out of the way. Harder than you might think for sure!

Parade of Planes

Never fails, you are just driving down the street and some slow poke gets in front of you and holds everybody up. A Parade of Planes driving down the streets back to the airport from the Palm Springs Convention Center. Part of the Flying Aviation Expo that was here for the last three days with 10,000 people.
