A day in the mountains and the desert of Palm Springs

A day in the mountains and the desert of Palm Springs

A model from Alabama, a makeup artist from Japan, a stylist from Indonesia, and I head up to Palm Springs for a day of shooting and 4 wheel driving in a front wheeled rent a car. The day began at 8am and I have not even finished my first cup of coffee and I have the united nations in my living room or my cousin’s living room, we are prepping to leave and hopefully not get crushed by traffic as we make our way out of the city.





Packing up the car everyone has stuffed their belongings in the trunk... shoes, dresses, bags, water bottles, hangers, and I think also a midget. We are off…… The drive went quickly as the 4 of us began to wake up, and over the first few hours we all got along laughed and told some stories… This is our story from today which includes a few dirt roads, high winds gusts up to 50 miles an hour, a rattlesnake, and skoal chewing guy in a pickup truck from a wildlife conservatory! Ito Mieko -makeup artist- Isaac Tjaja -Stylist- Michelle Joyce -model- and I, the driver/photographer had an interesting day as you will see.
