Fast Swell Color

Only thing I could think to add to this sign is the word chocolate.

I love Neon signs. Stopped late at night after driving back and then going back again to get it. To be a photographer you have to be much more spontaneous than I am. They probably just snap at first glance.

Me, I look, swoon and keep going. Then I think to myself, geez I should've stopped and took a picture. Then I start to quiz myself as to why I didn't stop and then I ask myself how much effort would it be to go back. And then I ask, who is going to be bugged by my going back to take the picture.

After nine more similiar questions I finally go back and take the picture and have that feeling of satisfaction.

Do the guys who take the picture at first look have that same feeling?

Who cares what feeling they have. Should I?

Should've had chocolate on the sign somewhere.

I go through the same process except I usually talk myself out of going back for the picture and then have feelings of regret that I didn't get the shot.

Gee Wally, that sure is a swell sign. :-)
