I think this is my favorite of the three. The composition is impeccable. I love how the slightly off kilter angles add a perfect recipe of tension. The desaturated colors give it that feeling like a postcard that you would find in the lobby of such a hotel. I had an instructor that was likewise obsessed with taking photographs of vintage signs, he'd travel around the country photographing them and when he'd get to a town he'd pull out his 4x5 and get images of every sign that he could. It's a good obsession and a fruitful one at that.

Aw your instructor sounds awesome. One day I hope to travel on route 66 and feed my new obsession.

Yes he was a great teacher, very enthusiastic and very talented. I've looked for his stuff online before but to no avail. He seems to be rather reclusive in the digital world, which is a shame considering the social and historical importance of his work. His name is Peter Delory. Someday I hope people will get to see his work not to mention myself getting the privilege of seeing his stuff on line.

Hey I am also into vintage signs. Last weekend, since I do not own a car, I took the buss on a street called E. Charleston because that street is really long and has a lot of old buildings and signs and just took a whole bunch of photos of old/vintage signs. I need to start loading them on my computer and posting them on Deviant Art. I will do that tomorrow so you and others can check them out.
