About the Author
Chris Menrad, a Southern California native, was drawn to Palm Springs in 1999 by its abundance of modernist architecture. He is a founding board member of the Palm Springs Modern Committee, an organization dedicated to the preservation of Desert Modern architecture, and a real estate agent specializing in architectural properties in the Coachella Valley. He lives in a Krisel-designed home, which was the first Palm Springs' Class One historic Krisel/Alexander-built house.
Working at the intersection of long exposure photography and exploration of the built environment, Tom Blachford’s photographs seek to transform predictable and known environments into surreal and dreamlike worlds. Obsessed with capturing the moments of clarity, color, and mystery that exist just beyond the limits of our human perception, Blachford bridges our worlds to dark realms beyond our reach.
Captivated by architecture not only for its sculptural forms, Blachford’s images of homes, towns, and suburbs act as the stage for unwritten narratives that implore the viewer to script their own drama happening behind the walls of each scene.
Using only existing light sources—the moon (“Midnight Modern”), the neon lights of Tokyo (“Nihon Noir”), or the harsh streetlights of L.A. (“Noct Angeles”)—Blachford hunts for the overlooked cinematic moments in the everyday, and works to distill them with a sense of mystery, unease, and wonder. Tom’s work has been featured widely across platforms and has been exhibited and collected across Australia, Europe, and the U.S. He currently lives in Melbourne, Australia.
