Futuristic Flight Suit

Keeping up my interest in aviation, this was a design I thought was good for a future flight suit for women. Model Kajira saying what one might expect “Is This What You Wanted To See?” From our photoshoot.

Quadrantid Meteors

Overnight time-lapse. Numerous meteors from different directions. Some would be attributed to the Quadrantid shower which is known for very bright fireball meteors. 01-03-2023 Palm Springs California

The Vast Wasteland Of Television

A graffiti art installation on old televisions at Bombay Beach at the Salton Sea. I have been going to the Salton Sea since 2003. The changes in the last few years at Bombay Beach have been amazing with the influx of the arts community. 12-31-2023

Flying Lessons

I don’t want to say I first took flying lessons a long time ago; but this was my first Cessna flight manual.

It Will Get You

Do you see it? Look close. One of the most dangerous creatures in Joshua Tree National Park. The Cholla known as the Jumping Cactus. It does not actually jump but has very sharp spines with barbs that easily detach from the plant and snagging anyone nearby. The Cholla Gardens in the Park have sidewalks so people can safely walk through and warning signs. However it is somewhat amusing to see visitors walk through in typical shorts and flip-flops venturing off the path. It must keep the Park Rangers very busy with first aid.

In The Summer

I always get asked what it is like to do photoshoots here in Palm Springs in the Summer when it is so hot, typically 100+°. Well it is like this.

Color Checker

Some time back my large color checker went missing. Probably got left in a gym during a shoot. Now I can’t find my small version. I am sure it will turn up but probably will have to buy a new one until then. Makes me feel better about color matching under different lighting when it is color critical.
