It’s fun perusing night-owl photographer Tom Blachford‘s portraits of classic Palm Springs mid-century residential architecture.
The cheerful pancake-flat homes when portrayed (normally) under a full splash of desert sun by moonbeam ray take on a somewhat cold and menacing aspect. Blachford, 27, not only injects a youthful spin in his “Moonlit Modern” series, but the Aussie-born photog fastens a “foreign” eye on this most American of architectural styles.
The “Moonlit” images will be exhibited one day only as part of the fun annual Palm Springs Modernism Week (Feb 12 – 22). The photos will hang at the Menrad Residence in the desert oasis’s Twin Palms neighborhood. House tours will take off throughout the day, and a chill cocktail reception will reign by evening.
