Artists Council Highlight

Very fun to be featured by the Artists Council for May 2024. The Artists Council, in it’s sixth year as an independent organization, was previously part of the prestigious Palm Springs Art Museum. It occupies the award winning Galen Building in Palm Desert California. It is a museum quality facility hosting numerous gallery shows throughout the year. Thank You Artists Council!

The Ace Show

This is fun… My photograph submission has been selected for the juried Artists Council Exhibition (ACE Show) 2024 at the Artists Center at the Galen in Palm Desert California. Previously the Galen was the East Exhibition Facility for the Palm Springs Art Museum. The show will run from February 7 through March 3rd. The ticketed opening reception is Friday February 9th, 5-7PM. It is always a sold out event. I am not showing the photograph online for now.

In The Lobby

In the past the Artists Council of the Palm Springs Art Museum would have fundraisers selling artworks for $99. Some of which were submitted by very famous people. You never knew what you might get. Here the early crowd waiting to get in at the Riviera Hotel. Palm Springs California

All The Parking

Always disappointing when someone takes up all the good parking. The rear of the McDonald’s Museum, the site of the first original McDonald’s Now owned by Albert Okura, owner of the Juan Pollo restaurant chain. A vehicle perhaps destined to be in parades. San Bernardino California

USS Midway At Sunrise

Going out at sunrise by boat to the USS Midway to be towed to it’s berth in San Diego Harbor to become a museum. I was an invited photographer to be onboard. As I recall we had to be there by 0500hrs and it was a two hour drive for me. January 10 2004. From my photo archives.

Women’s Shoes As Art

Since my photo shoot for ShoeEnvy I have been more conscious of shoes as stand alone art. Women’s shoes for me have been that to complement the beautiful women I photograph. Taken by themselves however, women’s shoes especially, exhibit tremendous creativity. These shoes on display at the Musée du costume et du textile du Québec. the Museum of Costume and Textile of Quebec in Montreal. Next I will have to get over to the Palm Springs Art Museum to see their new exhibit “Killer Heels: The Art of the High-Heeled Shoe“.

A Sign Of Appreciation…

A Sign Of Appreciation...

This was an exhibit that gave me a new appreciation for the art of the streets, whether signs or graffiti. I am sorry I did not have the chance to see and photograph it more than once. The “Art In The Streets” exhibit at The Geffen Contemporary at The Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles. “Installations by 50 of the most dynamic artists and will emphasize Los Angeles’s role in the evolution of graffiti and street art, with special sections dedicated to seminal local movements such as cholo graffiti and Dogtown skateboard culture.”

“Art In The Streets”

I truly enjoyed shooting photographs at this show some time ago.
