About:

This is photograph is one of the oldest featured in this exhibit. I was still getting my footing with long exposure photos. I had not quite landed on my formula for calculating exposure, but this photo was a major step towards figuring it out.

This is on Main Street in Mesa, Arizona, a road famous for its intact mid-century neon motel signs. I think the absence of neon makes this one interesting. I'm not sure why, maybe it's just easy to overlook when outshined by the bright neon signs.
