Too much fun for me! Carrying a camera around I get to photograph the photographers shooting at so many events going on here in Palm Springs during Modernism Week. And in this case a photographer who looks really good in front of a camera too. Sandra Baroni at Gallery 446.
“Is that Madonna?” is the question I keep hearing! I recently did this photo shoot with a truly extraordinary Heidi Cannon Wbff Pro. I must tell you that Heidi was just amazing and it was a wonderful photo shoot!
I liked this photograph from the shoot so very much that I made it my business card. The first time I have changed the photograph on my business card in almost eight years, and Heidi replaced Phil Heath!
So now as I hand them at in my travels, I get asked all the time, including last night at a gallery opening “Is that Madonna?”. I think that’s fun! Very Fun!
A reflection within a reflection within a reflection… At the opening last night of “Driven” “Drawings and Paintings of the Road” by Eric Nash at the Stephen Archdeacon Gallery in Palm Springs. Wonderful works attended by a wonderful group of people. And to quote… “Feral Car Show by Matthew Reader” “Hosted by Billy F Gibbons and WWW. FERALCARS.COM. Also wonderful Tequila from Pura Vida Tequila Company. Thank You to Sara Abbas for being my Tequila tour guide. I like it!
At first it seems like just kind of a cool old movie poster. But it turns out that it is for the only complete series of episodes of silent action films still in existence. The “Mystery Of The Double Cross” was released in 15 weekly chapters beginning on March 18, 1917. It is almost coming up on 100 years ago!
To quote from the Wiki about the plot… “Peter Hale (Leon Bary) is returning to America from overseas via steamship to receive his inheritance. On board, he receives a telegram warning him to beware the Double Cross. He doesn’t know what it means, until he becomes enamored of a mysterious woman occupying cabin no.7. When a submarine is sighted, there is panic on shipboard. Peter and the mysterious woman are thrown together, and in the ensuing action, he sees a double cross symbol on her right arm, just below the shoulder. When the ship arrives in New York, Peter loses track of the woman.”
Photographed the other day at the Palm Springs Modernism Week Fine Art Fair.
It was great fun to go to the opening night “VIP” party for the Palm Springs Modernism Week Fine Art Fair. Lots to look at, 3500 great looking and interesting people. Complimentary wine and beverages and full bars. But somehow I do not think, no matter how much I might drink, that I might get one confused for the other.
As soon as her gaze met mine I knew I was destined to be behind the wheel of this 1958 Lincoln Continental and driving off to travel the California coast. At the vintage auto show for Palm Springs Modernism Week yesterday. Anybody else want to jump in my car with my camera in hand?

I want one! A wall size poster from the 1958 cult movie hit “Attack Of The 50 Ft. Woman”.
This was inside one of the pre-fab homes at Palm Springs Modernism Week. And it fills an entire wall. Very Fun!
“Bumper To Bumper” by Paulden Evans. A sculpture of chrome bumpers. Outside the entrance to the new upstairs location for “Crave”. A “dessert bar” and a really great place! At the corner of Palm Canyon Drive and Amado in Palm Springs. Check it out! http://www.craveps.com
