Marilyn Monroe

The Marilyn Monroe statue in Palm Springs, Ca. "Forever Marilyn" is a giant statue of Marilyn Monroe designed by Seward Johnson. The statue is a representation of one of the most famous images of Monroe, taken from Billy Wilder's film The Seven Year Itch. "It rarely rains in Palm Springs so when it does its a treat. One morning I woke up very early to the sound of rain and decided to grab my camera and explore the city. This statue has been here for some time now so I didn’t have any interest to shoot it (again). But as I was walking around downtown I looked over at it and it was lit so perfectly with the gloomy weather. I couldn’t resist and snapped a few shots and continued exploring. It wasn’t until later when I was editing it that I saw the beauty of this picture and the statue."
