Awesome crusty neon sign we stumbled across recently in downtown Los Angeles. I have to go back and photograph it with my Canon. Love my iPhone, though, at times like this!

I’m always drawn to sad, broken dolls in antique stores. I grab a shot with my iPhone, and then MESS. THEM. UP.   It’s so easy to do with Snapseed, from Google Nik Software.

The iconic Jack Rabbit Trading Post in Joseph City, Arizona is what traveling Route 66 is all about. Although the adorable “10 Miles to the Jack Rabbit Trading Post” billboards along Route 66 are mostly long-gone, the remaining billboard on-site proudly proclaims “Here It Is,” as it has since 1949. The Texas-sized (sorry, Arizona) Jackrabbit out front is saddled up and ready for photo ops with every German tourist who stops by. And the area around the Trading Post is appropriately worn-out and kitschy. It’s a fun must-stop!!!
