Vintage Vegas

This series was inspired by a trip to Las Vegas in 2015 and a visit to the Neon Sign Museum, also known as, the Neon Boneyard. It occurred to me that Vegas embodies all that is human: ambition, joy, sorrow, greed, corruption, desire, creativity and beauty. The signs reflect the arc of their lives: birth, youthful vigor, success, and then retirement, sometimes to obscurity, and at other times memorialized. I found beauty in their imperfection, the wear and tear rendering them more interesting and perhaps reflecting their storied histories.
