I'm apart of a photography group that does a weekly photo contest. No, the winner doesn't win a big prize, its just a friendly competition. Each week we vote on a topic to use for our submission photo and the top three winners get their photo posted on an Instagram page, @shutterupfam. A couple weeks ago, the theme was pink, and at that time I was binge watching the second season of Riverdale on Netflix. This is pretty corny but Riverdale actually inspired my idea for the photo that week. The neon light in Pop's diner and the cyan blue that always came through the windows sparked an idea in my head. I asked my friend, Selah, to help me out on this little adventure. I wanted to find some neon signs and take photos of her next to them during blue hour. I wanted to get the same feel as the shows light and coloring, except I knew if we found a red sign I would have to change the tone a little bit for the contest from red to pink. We headed to Lake George because I knew there were some neon signs in the village. It was my mistake that I had forgotten about Americade that was that very weekend! We fought through the enormous crowd of people who came to see the motorcycles. Here's a few photos we got out of the couple neon signs that we found. Fighting through crowds and having people stare at us was definitely worth it. Even though the intention for the photo was to have more pink tones, the original tones were based off of blue and red. I decided that it would be perfect to post for July 4th because of the color scheme and it wasn't the typical firework or sparkler photo that you see. I guess that was a long explanation for the title, but please enjoy my efforts.
