More from Las Vegas. This is a nighttime view of the Mirage casino and their "volcano". On this trip, I didn't see the volcano do its thing, but hopefully next year I can catch it in action, along with the Sirens show at Treasure Island.

I'm also hoping to do some sunset and night time shooting at Red Rock canyon along with some star trails photos out in the desert. I just can't a dark enough place here in Indiana to shoot star trails. Too damn many lights everywhere I go!

A blast from the past. I was a volunteer during the Indy 500 this past may. My job was as a band escort (fun, but very hot that day) and while waiting for the band to start, I hung out in front of the celebrity green room and made this shot of Guy Fieri just before he took his place as the Grand Marshall of the parade. I love the pose and he was very friendly.

This shot was made in the late minutes of sunset. The blue sky and the lights of the casino worked well together for this picture. Of all the casinos in Las Vegas, I had the best results photographing the New York, New York casino.

Swing!

This ride debuted at the 2012 Indiana State Fair. I didn't have the opportunity to ride it, but I did make several photos of the ride. I really enjoyed the different lights and colors and they made for some great pictures.
