People always ask me how to stay inspired. I think there is nothing better than choosing a place you’ve never been before and having a fun Photo Safari. This past weekend, I traveled down to Palm Springs to take a little time off and just shoot for fun.
I fell in love with the Korakia Resort where I stayed. I had been wanting to check it out for the longest time. If you ever find yourself needing a place to stay in Palm Springs, I highly recommend it. It is the most romantic little boutique hotel/bed & breakfast with the most amazing staff you’ll ever meet.
I spent the day looking for cool shadows.
Most of the plant life in town looked like this:
This strange fellow was guarding an abandoned Pioneer Town that was used as a movie set years ago.
I think this shot of me is really funny.
Here is what I was shooting:
I found a bizarre little collection of desert trinkets.
Jules, you are so beautiful!
Ho-hum; you’ve made me so homesick for California. If you want more insperation – take a trip to Yosemite about the 2nd week of April – it’s so beautiful, and quite, and crisp, and inspirational. But you have to stop in Coursegold for lunch. Ok, that’s it I’m checking my calendar – I’ve just talked myself into a road trip!! Thanks Jules!!!!
P.S.: Great images
That last shot of you is soooo darn cute!
Oh no, Jeanne!!
We were in and out of there so quickly… I’m so sorry, though…next time, I promise!!!
Okay, you are in SOOOO much trouble. You came to Palm Springs and didn’t look me up? We could have at least had coffee together or something. I am so sad.
What an amazing set of images! I loved seeing the shot of you and cactus and then the cactus image right after it. I am so jealous that you have such cool deserty things near you! All we get in the NW is drizzle and cloud cover. 🙂
How did you find this strange place? Some of the stuff looks so random. I agree with the others, the cactus is amazing. You end up being an inspiration to others as you get inspired.
omg i’m jealous! i LOVE that shot of you shooting the cactus and then seeing what it is you were shooting. i don’t know which i like better, you, or the cactus!
what a fun safari! i love the cactus shot and i love the last shot of you!
I absolutely LOVE that last photo of you! SO cute!
you are so cute
Way cool shots Jules. I see you love workin’ one of your favorite lenses, the 24-70 (I saw that on the Ask & Learn in Pictage). The pics he took of you are really nice!
Aaaaah…he was the one that took that adorable photo of you (the last one). Looks like you had fun. You looked cute too!
Looks like you guys had a blast Jules. I agree, just getting out there and shooting for fun is a great way to recharge your creative batteries. Much love, Michael.
