I discovered the best time to photograph neon is at dusk…still enough time to get an exposure, but dark enough to see the glow.

Aztec Hotel…Trippy!

Wow, this shot makes the Aztec Hotel look rather otherworldly, which is is, but in it’s own way. I think David Lynch might have lived here at one point, and got inspiration for his films.

If you tour the rooms you will know what I mean, although the animal cages in the lobby are worth the drive over there. The only thing missing is a live tiger roaming around the patio. I wouldn’t be surprised if I came upon a paper-mâché version in a tight hallway somewhere upstairs.

I think the best night to go would be Halloween. I could wear a mask and do crappy karaoke and no one would be the wiser.

Props to “lostinangeles” for this.

I’ve got a little bit of Carnie in me…and am a sucker for a great photo that captures the mood. I stumbled upon Fiesta Weekend last year and enjoyed walking around. The magic really comes out at night, however, as you can see in this fab photo.

Night Furries

Posted November 12, 2008 in At Night, Critters, Not my photo

I have to say I have a soft spot for raccoons. They are just cute. Their black masks and fingers just make me melt. Usually, though, I don’t see them, despite knowing they are all around me. Tricky varmints, they are. It amazes me that skunks, opossums, squirrels and these raccoons all live in our midst and yet we rarely run across them.

Er, scratch that. I actually run across skunks more often than I’d like, or to put it another way, they run across in front of me, more like stroll, in the evening time. Thank god for that white stripe or I might not see them and…squirt! Well, you know the rest.

My dogs, on the other hand, in their olfactory adventures, haven’t been so lucky, poor little darlings.

I’ve always loved lights at night…and paper lanterns can be so pretty. I love walking around town at night…just wish there were a few more people out in the evenings.

Great shot by Eureka!626.

Ok…so I’m fantasizing that I’m in turn-of-the-century London…never thought I could get a mysterious night shot with an iPhone…but there you are.
