Something For Nothing

Thanks to some lucrative ad gigs in the early part of this century, I had a string of trips to Las Vegas.

These photo sessions were a creative and finanacial jackpot.

These projects had nothing to do with chance. Sure, making the aquanitance of the creative team of the North Carolina client was a stroke of luck. That meant that once I landed at McCarron, my worth was already known.

The work that I did there was way, way “off-Strip” which suited me just fine. Other than a couple of post-session dinners at a famous hotel buffet, I stayed out of the company town orbit.

It’s always interesting to see the sights of Las Vegas Boulevard up close. It’s a monument to those who have come to Sin City to get something for nothing.  Instead, these “winners” contributed to the creation of this shrine to human weakness.
