It's been a foggy and now, a hot long summer. I have much to post about and no time to do so.
Work and life have consumed me.
To top it off my scanner doesn't work right either.
I'm ancient of days with film that needs to be scanned in to finish my Cuba journey.
I promised my sister I'd finish my story of Cuba as I have yet to tell my Dad about this blog.
I have three posts to wrap up from July, as it was that month, 10 years ago that I went.
Also coming soon posts on my week long business travel which ended me up in the desert at one point. Awesome old set in the middle of all places....Lancaster.
Don't give up on me....I know I'm talking to myself as by now know one is reading this but me.
Stay tuned.
So for 1 week in July I went on location for a photoshoot. Not my photoshoot, but another very talented photographer, Lars Toppleman. He has a great crew and the best personality. One of the locations was in the desert, in a place called Club Ed. It's an old movie set, click on the link to read the story. Here are my shots as we walked around the set. Pretty cool place and used for lots of photoshoots and commercials. Just saw a Viagra commercial tonight with gas station.
We shot behind the hill on a sandy plateau.
Love the Joshua Trees.
And the Easy Rest Inn
Here's the Office to check in at the Easy Inn. It's actually where the caretaker comes during photoshoots. Another person lives on the property keeping all the lookie loo's out.
Old prop gas pumps.
Nice motel pool. Rooms are just facades, I believe only one is proped out.
My favorite Levi's ad with my favorite TV characters from my favorite TV show were shot here. Take a look.
Located off Avenue K in the lovely city of Lancaster. I do have to give props, no pun intended, to the Oxford Inn Hotel, where we stayed. We got two free drink tickets, they offered appetizers and breakfast and let me tell you it was "all good."
