Neon Museum
Neon lights of diners and motels have been some of my favorite subjects to photograph over the years, perhaps second only to art museums. Thus, the Neon Museum was the perfect marriage of these disparate interests of mine and was naturally my top pick to visit in Las Vegas.
However, the weather forecast of successive days of blistering heat plus boring cloudless sky almost made me can the whole idea. Thanks to my intrepid old med school classmates, they dragged me along with them and made it all come true.
To add drama to my story, the Neon Museum reception desk greeted me with a warning sign saying that cameras other than those in mobile phones are not allowed on the premises. I was really pissed when I had to surrender my camera and my tripod. Maybe I wasn't as lucky as I believed I was.
My frustration spurred me to transform challenges into opportunities. So, it soon became a pivotal moment for me to test and hopefully prove that fundamental tenet in photography: The best camera is the one that's with you.
There's a neon sign in the window of Simons Tavern that says "It's Glogg Time!" Joe was the one who told me about this and we met at Simons for some glogg on the evening of December 24, then ate pizza at Konak. That week I took my personal home computer to the shop next to Konak (which is not a recommendation for that particular computer repair shop - I have yet to find good computer repair service) and bought pink champagne for New Years at Andersonville Wine & Spirits, also on the corner of Clark & Foster.
Just another indication of how the Jackson, Mississippi downtown area is looking. Everything has a pretty rundown feel to it. To see how this image was processed, see my blog at wp.me/p1aWsn-uS.

This only furthures my fascination with dinners.
