In The Good Life / Palm Springs, Nancy Baron offers a lush look at the desert town of Palm Springs, California; a brilliant combination of small town America and iconic resort town with something for everyone - a perfect example of The American Dream. A few steps from the resorts and off the main drag lies a lovely small town with something for everyone - and a well-lit path to the American dream, whether it's realized in a trailer or an architectural masterpiece. A part-time resident of Palm Springs, Baron gives us an insider's view of this mid-century paradise with her jewel-toned images, saturated by the desert sun.
