Last week I was lucky enough to tour some amazing vintage trailers and meet their owners during the modernism week in Palms Springs. I arrived a few days early to spend some time with my friend, Kristiana Spaulding who is a jewelry designer, stylist, and proud owner of several trailers, one of them she showed during the event. Max came along for the ride and we all stayed at an RV park in the area for a few days before the trailer was moved to the Rivera to be on display for the public to tour.
I met up with people I met at Alumapalooza including John Long who is a proud owner of a bowlus and author of a book on the history of this trailer. John, Kristiana and I woke up at the crack of dawn to photograph this wonderful trailer at the home of designer, Trina Turk before the event.
During the event, I met the Funky Junk Farm's owner trio of John, Ed and Steven. They all were very patient with me as I took their portrait a few times. They had a few trailers on display that were all unique and different. Their personalities matched well with their home on wheels they had on display. Thank you to all of the owners who allowed me to take their photograph and for Airstream Life for hosting the event. I look forward to an even bigger showing in 2012!
