I made good time.. only to be set back 2 hours.

Juan, Jose, and Juan

These guys were so awesome. On my annual Borrego Springs trip, we went to Joshua Tree as we always do. I was walking around the park and saw these guys getting ready to rock climb. I tried as hard as I could to speak in my embarrassing Spanglish. They told me they drove all the way from Mexico and Plan to go all the way to Washington, just rock climbing. Super nice guys.


I knew my drive down was too good to be true. I drove from San Francisco to San Jose and took a quick nap at home. Left San Jose the other day at 11pm and got to LA at 4 am. Slept in a parking lot in Santa Monica and my first shoot went on without a hitch. I met two amazing stylists, and one of my idols- Daria Radlinsky. She's a styling genius! I cant wait to look at her portfolio online.

Finally. I made it down to Palm Springs. I think my film isn't loaded quite right so now I'm trying to justify my next 8 frames. Maybe they'll turn out cool. It's currently 102 degrees. I love it. I wish I could live down here. I just need to go to wallgreens to buy some sunscreen mine is completely dunzo. I have three more portrait sessions here in Indio as well as 29 Palms. Theres also a few hotels I wanted to take photographs of in Twenty nine Palms.

Lets hope this minor set back is the only tiny bump in my trip..
