I’ve been slowly going through the archives of OTP assignments so here’s one from OTP 93. My Town.
I think Las Vegas is seen as a tourist city, but really its a sunbelt suburbia with two dense entertainment districts. So to address the assignment I pulled off the side of the road on my morning commute and took this very straightforward shot with a little desert in the foreground, some casinos in the background and a whole lot of asphalt in the middle.
The thing is, there’s a lot of desert that development has hopped over in the mad expansion. So I turned around and shot this little micro-landscape.
And with the morning sun I tried to make the O’Reilly Autoparts seem somewhat dramatic.
And for the other part of my Las Vegas life, I’ve worked in Downtown my whole tenure here. So here’s a snapshot of a truly lousy park job by your’s truly while getting an espresso in the morning.
