Big Time

On a trip to the American South West last year I flew in and out of Vegas and stayed

st a place on the Freemont Strip. Gaudy and full of colour, I found it quite a miserable

place. I saw few people smiling, and no one seemed to be having anything like a good

time. The energy was frantic but pointless, and I thought it made a bit of an ironic

comment to process some of the photos from that evening in B&W. Your comments

will be greatly appreciated!

My friend Chip lived in Vegas for 32 years, I have been there 9 times.

No gambling for me, I might as well se my money on fire, at least it will keep me warm for 12 seconds.... Knowing a "Native" of the area was great, we hit all the primo buffets with in strip malls away from the casinos. Hoover Dam, the Grand Canyon. Vegas is a great place if you don't gamble.....
