This is my boyfriend Pat walking toward the Dun Rovin' Motel. Pat and I were there a couple of weekends ago to get some cool portraits taken by our friend Charlotte -- I always wanted to be photographed there! We absolutely love midcentury modern design and architecture, and there is plenty of it in this area of Colorado Springs known as Nob Hill. Built in 1950, the Dun Rovin' is a great example of that space-age midcentury look that we love so much. Look at those awesome blue arches and the super cool sign!
Unfortunately the Dun Rovin' closed its doors recently (I guess it got pretty shady in recent years, so maybe that was a good thing). I hope it doesn't get torn down! I would love to do a photoshoot there with some models before that happens.

It sort of reminds me of Tomorrowland at DisneyWorld before they refurbished it.
Very cool. I like Pat's cowboy shirt, too!
Some folks I know in Kansas bought one of those roadside motels and turned it into a family home. It was cool, all the kids had bathrooms in their rooms, and they had, hands down, the best. pool. ever.
Do we get to see the photos you guys took? Judging by Pat's shirt, YOUR outfit had to be super cool!
It would be too cool to live in a motel like this!
That shoot produced my new avatar! Here's the link to her blog post about it: http://charlottegeary.livejournal.com/198642.html And I did a shoot for them in return, here's the link to my blog post about it: http://click-photography.blogspot.com/2008/11/charlotte-mike.html
Heh heh it's kind of nice having professional photographers as friends!
Saw your pics, love them! Looks like you guys had a lot of fun - I like campy Airstream photo the best.
