In "Palm Springs Reflections," Glen Wilbert photographs a still motel pool at dusk in Palm Springs, the calm green water filling the lower frame and holding soft reflections of the palm trees, low buildings, and mountains behind it.
The image holds a quiet pastel palette of green water, pale sky, and warm desert mountain, the light of early evening keeping everything muted and soft. Glen shot low and close to the water so the smooth pool surface dominates the composition, with the row of tall palms, the mid-century motel, and the string of patio lights compressed into a band across the top. The reflections of the palms ripple faintly on the surface, and a few lights glow at the water's edge.
Palm Springs, in the California desert, is known for its mid-century modern motels and poolside culture. Glen records a calm moment at dusk, treating the pool as a still, reflective plane in the manner of Hockney's California pool paintings.
A study in pastel tone and reflection, where a desert pool becomes a quiet mirror at dusk.
