Photographing History: Trump’s Coachella Rally
🎥 History Through My Lens 🎥
On October 12th, I was privileged to document Donald Trump’s rally in Coachella as a credentialed photographer for ZUMA Press.
Whether or not we agree on politics, the re-election of Trump as President is undeniably a historical moment. My images from this rally have reached news outlets worldwide, and now they’re available for you to view and own as prints.
This opportunity was a testament to my 20+ years with ZUMA Press and the power of photography to capture defining moments in history.

Trump Rally Coachella
In no way does my being at this rally as a Press Photographer represent any political views. Since the event, the photographs have been syndicated and published worldwide. I have now decided to make them available to view on my website at SecondFocus.com and to have them available as prints.
This is a collection of original photographs capturing President Donald Trump and the electric atmosphere of his October 12, 2024, election rally in Coachella, California. These images, taken from the vantage of the press riser, offer an up-close and vivid perspective on the crowd, the energy, and the moments that defined the event. Each photograph available in a variety of sizes, each print is crafted on premium materials for a bold, lasting finish. To purchase click on each individual photo on the website and then on the Cart button at the bottom. Please take a look. Thank You!
Coachella!
Finally I got to Coachella! The best seats ever for the 2018 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. From the cockpit of the Palm Springs Air Museum C-47 “What’s Up Doc?”.
Coachella Rocks At The Air Museum!
In the Los Angeles Times, just yesterday. April 12 2017. Such a great place to visit and my personal and professional interest and photographic avocation. Some highlights from the story at “Coachella’s second hottest ticket? The Palm Springs Air Museum“…
“The Palm Springs Air Museum has emerged as the (second) hottest ticket in town during Coachella week, on the strength of two massive off-site, Goldenvoice-sanctioned concerts held amid the vintage aviation equipment and military artifacts.”
“This is going to expose the museum to a lot of folks who would probably seldom come in here,” said Fred Bell, the museum’s managing director. “It’s an industrial setting that lends itself to these kind of events, and if it gets some people interested in airplanes, it’s a win-win.”
“The museum, which opened in 1996, first dipped into the Coachella-crowd scene last year when it hosted an event for Splash House, a Goldenvoice-presented, EDM-focused multi-site festival that proved music fans do have an interest in Palm Springs attractions beyond the polo fields and the hotel pool. “That was super positive for us. We’re a museum of living history. We’re not out to just teach historical facts,” Bell said.”
“Fans who come back for some non-music programming on April 22 can even take a spin a Vietnam War-era attack helicopter (they can’t drop you off at the festival, alas, much as it would be nice to skip the Coachella lines in a Cobra AH-1F Bell).”
Makes it my kind of place for sure! Hope to see more of you there and please visit and like the Museum Facebook page for more of my photography and video clips! Thanks!
