Tried to get the most out of the rental car before I had to return it back to the airport. More thrifting, strolling around, and the beach.

More creepiness from thrift stores between Palm Springs and LA. Stops along the way include Beaumont, Redlands, and Sun Valley.
Joshua Tree National Park has always been one of my favorite places in the world to make photographs. It’s only a three hour drive from where I grew up and the light is always amazing there. In college, most of my final year work was made there. The landscape is like another planet. Driving south through the park from the 29 Palms Entrance is my usual way on starting, but this time we drove in at the Northwest entrance, zig-zagging southeast through the terrain.
While Keren and I visited the desert, we had the pleasure of staying two nights at the Ace Hotel & Swim Club in Palm Springs. It’s about an hour away from Joshua Tree and half an hours distance from the Coachella Valley Preserve. I don’t really have to sell anyone on how nice it is to stay there; I think the images kind of speak for themselves. I would definitely recommend it and especially the hotel diner, The King’s Highway. Such a good burger and amazing breakfast and coffee among other things. Stumptown is served. I wanted to eat all my meals there. Also, in the evening, the pool is open late and they screen films and have live music. During our stay, they played Zabriskie Point by Antonioni, perfect selection seeing where we were headed; and a few bands driving to SXSW stopped by on their way to Texas.
It’s been awhile. I’ve been away in Korea traveling and got really busy with shoots this week. Here are more images from around Palm Springs. Places of interest here are the Cabazon dinosaurs, the Agua Caliente Indian Canyons, the Palm Springs Visitor Center, and a few finds along the way. I’ve been photographing that same EAT sign and all its changes and renovations since I was a kid.
These are images from last week’s road trip in and around Palm Springs and Yucca Valley, California through the desert. Notable spots along the route here are the Coachella Valley Preserve, the Integratron, CA-247, and the 29 Palms Highway. I didn’t think a Chevy Cobalt rental would hold up to my constant pulling over but it did. After I get back from Seoul and Tokyo, I’ll post some more selects.
Joel hosted Thanksgiving this year at his loft in Williamsburg. The meal was epic, and the desserts put me down.
This is a building I’ve photographed a lot over the years, but never like this. On Friday night, Tanlines and Yeasayer performed at the Guggenheim Museum for the It Came From Brooklyn Concert Series. Having press access to the space really helped out in terms of getting to where I needed to be. The stage was situated at the foot of the rotunda in the lobby, surrounded by the Kandinsky exhibition. Both performances were out of this world, and the ambient light only lent itself to my color treatment on these images. I’d like to thank Jesse from Tanlines for the press pass and invitation, and the Guggenheim staff for being so accomodating. I’m really proud of Eric and Jesse from Tanlines; they played great and on a very special stage. Also, big ups to Ira from Yeasayer, who also put on a great performance.
This place is amazing, and soccer in the cold rain is starting to grow on me. Located on the West Side Highway and W. Houston St, Pier 40, an outdoor, multi-sport artificial-turf field, extends out onto the H. Hudson River to house the equivalent of 3-4 soccer fields. Pier 40 is home to approximately 2,200 long-term parking spaces, kayaks, and Hudson River Park offices. Around the entire perimeter of Pier 40 is a public esplanade. There are also indoor and outdoor athletic fields with uses that range from soccer and football to rugby and baseball. Surely, this is my next photo shoot location. After a late-night game like last night with soaked uniforms and injuries to nurse, all you want to do is look at books, open the day’s mail, play with puzzles, read, and dry-off.
