Dedicated to my dear friend Suzanne Kelliher.

Sound: "Feather" by Kevin Barnard

This is a portrait of a camping trip to the Cottonwood Mountains and Joshua Tree and the Sultan Sea. It was Palm Sunday. When I went to title the film it naturally came out as Pslam Sunday, more appropriate.

This was the first time hiking since the Woodstock Music Festival of 69. I am amazed that I carried food, water, tripod, 16mm Bolex Camera, spools of film with me to hike in the desert.

This is a visual diary of the trip into the desert and return.

Production format: 16mm

Film Diary Series
During my decades of filming on 16mm black and white, color reversal and negative I found a great deal of material that could be used in any projects. I guess one would call them "stand alone pieces." Some of them are sketches and others are complete in one way or another. I knew I just could not throw them away, ignore them, or have them sit in a can never to be viewed. I decided to release them as they are, of course edited and finally coming to the life of their own. They are visual diaries of certain times and places and events in my filmmaker life.
