I'm completely smitten by the photography of California-based prop stylist Jen Gotch, her flickr photos had me at hello. I can't wait to spend time looking through all of them over the weekend, it's like a virtual candyland and if you click here you'll see exactly what I mean.

I can't wait until her website launches but for now, we have her blog called My Polaroid Blog to enjoy. I particularly like the photos she shot of the Parker Palm Springs in California (blogged here last April). It's the one hotel in America that I'm dying to stay at, it's #1 on my list. I imagine spending a weekend there lounging poolside with a pina colada, then slipping into my spacious room designed by the one and only Jonathan Adler to dream the night away. Jen's photos entice me to fulfill this dream very soon.

A special thank you to Jen Altman from Nectar and Light for writing in about a book she started where she invited 25 photographers to join efforts and we'll see the results in July under the title For the Love of Light: A Tribute to the Polaroid. Through Altman I discovered Jen Gotch, one of the photographers involved in this special labor of love, her photos above.
