My first photoshoot for this essay was scheduled on February 1st 2012.I was go go to Maren and Nick's house and photograph his small neon sign collection in their garage.
That day was a really good experience for me, finding out which exposures worked best to help capture the true essence of the neon signs.
Here are a handful of the photographs that I created in their garage.
Feedback is appreciated!
I really like the abstract image where the tubes look like they are creating a "5". The depth of field is great, and I enjoy the unique vantage point that you force me, as a viewer, to have! I am less interested in the signs off, but there could be a place for an image like it as a nice break to the multitude of lit up signs. Great work! And thanks for the peak into Maren's garage ;)

Thanks Katie! I really appreciate your feedback. I also enjoy the abstract shots a lot and I hope that they can end up having a place within the final book. I agree, the signs off are not that intersting. I think the only ones that are off will be outdoors, still proudly displayed in their original location, probably with a note as to when the establishment was shut down... such as Chevys, and Hotel Amsterdam in Downtown.
