Neon Dreams in Vegas
Going to Photoshop World in Las Vegas? Enter the Peachpit Neon in Your Neighborhood contest and win an opportunity to join me and some other Peachpit authors on the bus for an EARLY MORNING photo safari to the Neon Museum Boneyard. It’s a collection of 150 retired, but classic neon signs from the hey-day of old Las Vegas. Think: hulking pieces of metal with wild shapes and wilder paint jobs - a perfect place to shoot some awesome images. Bring your flash!
But first, you’ve got to win a spot on the bus. To enter, click on the Peachpit link above and follow the directions. Basically, it’s a great excuse to go out in your own home town and shoot some cool photos of neon. Post them to the contest’s Flickr page (at the contest site) and see how it goes. Good luck!!
Here’s my image from the other side of the country - New Jersey (my old stomping grounds). It hollered out at me as I cruised by it on Route 22 in Springfield. Had to stop and turn around. How can you pass up a gimme like that? Yeah, we all need a little charm and comfort.
See you in Vegas…

Let's talk about CMYK
Does your organization represent photographers, designers, or printers? Or, for that matter, prepress jocks, production managers, or digital assistants?
I'm available to give presentations and lead workshops on how to move from just-don't-know to two-point-oh.
