Print-a-week Challenge: update 4
Neon relic of Highway 89 By now, the Photocampers are thinking about making final prints for the print display. I still haven't decided what I'm bringing--either a picture I scouted last week and will shoot on Monday, or one...
Cowboy Bar
Cowboy Bar, Jackson Wyoming I knew in the back of my mind that I had a keeper of this neon, but then I moved on. Today I put some time into readying it for the Highway 89 project....
Best of 2008 on Highway 89
I wasn't going to blog a best-of for 2008, mostly because the end-of-year recap on my 2008 resolutions was already nagging at me. The national implosion of the publishing industry directly impacted my Highway 89 project, and by the end...
Maddox Redux
Multiple exposure When I started out with my Nikon N80, I made some multiple exposure images that I liked. I now think of them as precursors to the remix series. Then I got my D70, which didn't have multiple...
End of the blues: Antelope Island
Antelope Island Marina, Great Salt Lake I'm not showing this picture tonight at Ignite Salt Lake, although it fits perfectly in my theme, "Blue Light Special." Too late now. I turned my slides in on Monday, on time. Yesterday...
Speaking at Ignite Salt Lake
Neon at the blue hour Thanks to a well-timed introduction from fellow Photowalker Mike Calanan, Ignite Salt Lake has added me to their schedule for next Thursday's event at the Leonardo at Library Square. I have 5 minutes and...
New Windsor
New Windsor Neon This image is all about cool: cool blues, the 1950s jazzy kind of cool, the cool of a late evening. How deceptive images can be: it was 100 degrees in Phoenix that night. When I went...
Where you are - State Street Neon
Capitol Motel, State Street, Salt Lake City, Utah The lure of the distant and the difficult is deceptive. The great opportunity is where you are. - John Burroughs...
Meanwhile, back on Highway 89...
Neon sign in Phoenix, Arizona Now that I'm done playing with the ponies, I'm back to writing. This week, I'm cruising along the Highway 89 chapter on Tucson to Rte 66. That's where you will find this fantastic neon...
Flying M
The Flying M cafe is in Panguitch, Utah Today is another flying day. I said good-bye to mom yesterday, leaving her in good spirits and with a freezer full of home-cooked zip-locked meals. Today, I go back to the...
The 2 minute drill
The Summit Electric sign on 4th South, Salt Lake City I finished an important deadline-driven project yesterday, felt like the guy in the Bose commercial, blown back in my chair from the effort. So today I did one hundred...
Not for me - neon shake, Bountiful, Utah
Neon burger joint sign, Bountiful, UT No chocolate shakes, french fries or cheeseburgers for me for a while. I once invented a 1,000 calorie per day fast-food only diet. I'm not recommending it, just noting that it can be...
Thoughts on electric devices, and fear
Bill Johnson's Big Apple restaurant We returned to Salt Lake to find the front of our palace draped in plastic in an attempt for the remodel to proceed despite the weather. Two electric space heaters running all night added...
If I won the lottery...
Deer-O Motel sign I would make a home for all the old neon relics that could still be found and restore them to their proper colorful, blinking status. Van Buren Street in Phoenix was the old US Highway 89...
Neon on my mind
Kitty Pappas neon, Bountiful, Utah Kitty Pappas is one of the last old-time steak houses on northern U.S. 89 in Utah. I've eaten there, about a year ago, with my good friend Sharon, who is having surgery and is...
Attorney at Law
Neon sign R made a kaleidoscope action to use for some of his science images, and he gave it to me. Then I took it a couple steps further in PS, blending layers, masks, etc. I've been inventorying neon...
Neon - MT
Neon in Livingston Montana Here's one from the archives of the February 2007 MT trip. The fun part of making this photo was avoiding the snow slush splashing up from the passing cars. I've been using the short days...
Route 66 and Hwy 89, part 1, Williams, Arizona
Route 66 signage, Williams, Arizona Another neon sign I found on my last trip to Arizona, made quite a bit earlier in the evening, and a better illustration about the "blue light special" than the previous post. Everyone knows...
Neon - Flagstaff
Neon street scene outside the Montevista Hotel, Flagstaff, Arizona I have been accused (in a friendly way) of holding back my best pictures from my recent trips, so here's one of my favorites from the Flagstaff advenutre. I've learned...
Spinning neon - Perry Utah
The spinning neon sign at the Maddox Ranch House, Perry Utah I'm surprised at how many people in Utah don't know about the Maddox Ranch House because we were sent to eat there within a few weeks of our...
Neon sign needs TLC - Ogden, UT
Look at the potential in that faded beauty All that's left of the North Star Twin theater in Ogden, Utah is the marquee, and that doesn't look like it'll last much longer. The new houses on the lot are...
Bathing Beauty Neon - Mesa Arizona
The divers light up in a three-blink sequence, finishing with a splash I spotted this sign on my first December trip to AZ, nabbed the photo on New Year's Day during the second trip. I've been smiling about it...
