We were greeted this morning to a rainbow over the San Jacinto Mountains.
We took it as a sign. Of good things. Needed things.
The neighbor came outside and started banging a wooden spoon on a sauce pan.
He said Biden had won.
And he had.
It was quite a morning.
A perfect night for ghosts and ghouls to roam about and cause a fright!
Image looks like a little bit of Mexico, but it’s not.
Palm Springs has an amazing mixture of architectural styles, not the least of which is Spanish Colonial and Mexican Hacienda, blending in seamlessly with the cottages from the 20s, 30s, and 40s, apartment buildings from the 50s and 60s, all the 60s mid-century moderns, and those great 70s homes and commercial buildings.
Visually it’s a great ride through time.
Love this town!

Early morning, Indian Canyons…
Winters low light is making itself known, casting long shadows, shorter days.
… we’re all neighbors. Here’s Todd and P. David with the girls Fido Galore and Oopsy Daisy.
Bicycle by this home in Indian Canyons daily and wondered: what’s the story?
Here it is from Palm Springs Life Magazine article: The Most Wives Club.
Shirley Shirley Shirley!: A field guide to the unfathomable yet wonderful world of plant-generated music by Nico Georis.
Thank you Dustin and Iwona. Super chill for these need to chill times…
We are not going to Italy. We are not going to France. Or Mexico or Japan.
We are here in Palm Springs staying at the beautiful Canyon View Estates.
We are safe, happy, together, and home.
You be too.
… we’re all neighbors. Here’s William and the Boys.
August in Palm Springs brings breathtaking weather patterns.
Look up. Look out.
Taking a short break from the heat of the desert at this hideaway with a dear friend.
Detail. Bookcase. Guest bedroom. Because we have to shoot something… f’g COVID-19
… when you’re photographers and you just want to shoot something?
Written in a spare, stripped down style, propelling the story and reader along, SOMETIME is a page-turning, cynical, funny, and savage romp through one man’s “anyway the wind blows” life.
$20 gets you a copy of my book, “Sometime”, a love story for our times, and a personal dedication in my illegible scrawl! Cool? Message me now….
Also available through Amazon!
We are not doctors, but we believe in science. Wear the mask and shut up.
… because we aren’t shooting assignments: no home interiors, restaurants, people, places, or travel stories while in COVID-19-HELL.
Oh well. We are happy to be here, together, in Palm Springs and shooting anything at all and whatever we want for the love of shooting. And there are some amazing exteriors to photograph.
Sunday morning found us on Via Lola in Old Las Palmas neighborhood.
Visions of Sergio Leone- echoes of Ennio Morricone- in the Palm Canyon Wash early morning.
It has been a year now since we sold our home and moved from Atlanta, Georgia to Palm Springs, California.
So much has happened in that time: new acquaintances, friends, projects, and after eight months of relatively, groovy bliss, now dealing with COVID-19. All in all, we are in a better place. Untethered by property ownership for the time being, we are free to pivot with ease. In these new times of incredible uncertainty, our ability to shift and adjust our course at will, has given us great peace of mind.
And no, we are not wearing masks for the photo, but we wear them everywhere because we care about our health and yours. And we look great with them. Really!

Ruth Hardy Park in Palm Springs.
Love, unity, justice.
Thanks to everyone who took the time to make their voices heard.
These are troubled and troubling times.
We don’t have to list it all here. We know what’s going on.
And we know the why of it. And the who.
Stay focused, stay vigilant.
And when the time comes, vote like your life and your country depend on it.
