Palm Springs Photo Festival Has Successful Launch

On the grounds of the Korakia Hotel in Palm Springs, CA dozens of high-end art aficionados gathered to see the best of the best in photography.

Jeff Dunas, the festival's organizer and, at the opening anyway, performance artist, told stories about each one of his photographs. His animation clearly struck the souls of the viewers of his photos, each piece filled with mini-narratives about life as it happened at specific moments in time.

Jock Sturges was there, also, with a batch full of photographic nudes, shocking to some, mere art to others.

Juergen Nogai, a colleague of famed architectural photographer Julius Shulman, displayed both his photos and a couple of his books, one of which I bought. A picture of the cover is above.
