Feeling Nostalgic

I have been going through some family photos and I came across a few that I just fell in love with. These are my grandparents (mother's side), and I just desperately want to know what their life was like. It makes me wish that they were still around so I could hear their stories, and talk shop with my grandfather, who was an Art Director. They were two wonderfully creative people, and I hope I can attempt to carry on their creative sensibilities and talents through my own work.

Isn't that photo of them at the beach just fabulous? They look SO happy!

The Beauty of the Neon Sign

Aren't these old neon signs beautiful? When I first started taking photography classes in high school, I loved seeking them out. I came across this article on the idsgn blog, and apparently there is a neon museum in Vegas that looks AMAZING. It is a non-profit dedicated to preserving the iconic art form. Vegas isn't really my kind of place, but it would be so cool to see all of these old signs!
