About the Cover
This Palm Springs Life annual edition cover image was created by Hal Lester using computer-generated imagery based on a concept by Candy Jernigan.
The cover depicts an idealized desert landscape featuring:
- Snow-capped mountains
- Desert wildflowers
- Cacti
- A dramatic sky
- A floating Earth above the desert
The artwork visually reinforces this issue's central theme: "The Desert: A World Apart."
Features
Dawn's Early Light
The desert as a world apart in the quiet hours before dawn. Residents know the beauty of the desert at first light. Accompanied by photography capturing the early-morning landscape and wildlife.
Curiosity, El Niño
The desert stands apart climatically as well. While much of California experienced severe El Niño weather, the desert produced extraordinary wildflower displays. Photography by Tom Brewster.
Fashion: Thoroughly Modern Classics
An exploration of the unique architectural and design heritage of Palm Springs modernism. Photography by Arthur Coleman, including a restored former home of actor Joseph Cotten.
Report from the Recovery Zone
A look inside the Coachella Valley's internationally known drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers and the role the desert's privacy and isolation play in recovery.
