Sign, Sign, Everywhere a Sign

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blockin’ out the scenery, breakin’ my mind
Do this, don’t do that, can’t you read the sign?

Making photographs of signs may be the best reason ever, to carry a camera.  See why.

Old Signs

Mary and I are always on the hunt for old signs, especially along Route 66 in California.

Ghost Signs

When ever we drive through a small town, we look for these.

Neon Signs

Neon signs are especially fun.  See our blog on how to make good photos of neon signs.

Processing

We think that you can take a lot more liberty with style and color with signs.  We tend to saturate the color ones a lot and like black and white.  In a pinch, we love to use Snapseed.

As I stated last week, don’t just carry a cell phone camera.  Take your point and shoot where ever you go and you will find great signs everywhere.
