Motels, hotels and the like.

I mean we're only there to sleep and getting a good night's rest is the most important thing, right?

The second shot is the Hard Rock in Chicago, just so-so.

The hotel at the end is the Hotel Chelsea in midtown Manhattan, over-priced.

1. Del Marcos in Palm Springs - excellent

2. Buffalo Hyatt - cheapest best Hyatt with giant rooms

3. A good TV is important too. Some random Hyatt.

4. An "Hourly" in Studio City. $75 for the first hour...

Thanks Henry. I enjoy sharing my architectural interiors.

Frank, how many blow-up dolls do you have? ;-)
(Also, please give tech information about the "pistols" picture. It has the creamy look of a Kertesz image from the 1930s Paris. Thanks)

It's just Tri-X and a 150mm Symmar wide open, nice light out in the desert and careful scanning/curve adjustments.

Bummer, must have been there at the wrong time! No Pistoleros.

The Ace Hotel Chain is excellent, this is from Portland, OR. Just tried the NYC one and it was great too. Good value.

Frank - Do you use flash?

I was driving down SW Stark at 11th , next to the Ace Hotel in Portland, sometime this last spring (I think) about 6PM or so. I was waiting for the light to change and I noticed a flash in the 2nd or 3rd floor room near rhe corner of the hotel. I could swear I saw the outline of a hot looking girl in the window. I drove around the block hoping to vget a better look ;^) and as I came around the second time, I think the blinds had been pulled.

Was that you or is there some secret about people shooting nudes at the Ace?

[Frank Petronio]

haha no just Halogens, a couple of Lowel Totas bouncing around or in umbrellas. I am sure I am not the only photographer to have shot in these places.

Just to move on from the Frank show, even though I love Franks images, and the accoutrements found at the hotels he frequents.
Here's a pic of motel that is long gone.
