GAS & GLASS

“This is a tour of San Francisco’s neon signs in the 1980’s. I photographed a few more in the 1990’s, and then theaters in 2005. Of the 174 signs, 40 remain in 2020. This film is dedicated to journalist Erik S. McMahon, who had walked the neighborhoods and made lists of the neon signs to be documented before they disappeared. Then he talked me into photographing them.”
