Ol’ Blue Eyes blunder.
We’ve written some on this blog about the Palm Springs location shoot last spring that resulted in some of the fantastic photography in our summer catalog. (The one with the nice Bertoia Diamond Chair on the front. You know, the one that made you want to go swimming?) One of the most utterly hip places we shot is known as Twin Palms, which was built for Frank Sinatra starting in 1947. According to the Twin Palms historical page, architect E. Stewart Williams recalls that “Frank came in with a white sailor hat and an ice cream cone and said ‘I want a house.’” The result is simply stunning. As a proofreader of the catalog, I was somewhat traumatized to learn that we mistakenly printed the wrong website for this piece of mid-century modern history. Learn all about Twin Palms (including a contact to actually book it) at sinatrahouse.com.
Twin Palms is absolutely jaw-dropping although I didn't see many pics of the property when browsing thru the Summer catalog. Do you recall off hand how many shots were actually utilized? I am going to try and pull the catalog and take another look. Thanks for sharing insight on this amazing PS property.
