Spring in the desert

These views are on fire! 🔥 Taken with my favorite camera and lens: Sony a7 III and my Sony 24-70mm f2.8 G Master.

This lens is great for a few reasons: I can capture wide landscapes, I can zoom in and get tighter shots, it's super sharp, and it's fast! The perfect versatile lens for my travel and landscape work, as well as in my studio for product photography.

This motel is for the birds 🐦🐦

I've driven by this sign a few times now and it has always caught my eye. It's one of the tallest signs in the area with one simple word "MOTEL". The bold, all-caps white letters on the solid red background make a simple phrase, but it stands out. So, I decided to pull over and capture it.

I think I am going to make this available as a print. What do you think?

Oh, and by the way, Happy St. Patrick's Day! ☘️

This week is Modernism Week in Palm Springs, California. I thought I would share one of my shots of this mid-century modern house with turquoise blue doors. Team turquoise anyone?

Merry Christmas and happy holidays from the desert! 🌵🎄 I hope you have a fun and safe time.

P.S. I would never put Christmas lights on a real Joshua tree. This is only a composite that I created using Adobe Photoshop.

If you zoom in closely, you will notice that I plugged the lights into a nearby rock 💡🪨 Who knew there was electricity out here?!

The construction sign for the Palm Springs exit has been a horrid fluorescent orange color. Swipe for the original photo. A pink one looks way better. Don't you think?
