Signs of Life - Joe Gaylor
Artist Statement
“Signs of Life” is an ongoing series of photographs that I started last summer (2014) after stopping at a roadside Diner in Connecticut. I was struck by the beauty of the huge, custom Neon Sign alit atop the Diner shortly after sunset.
Today, amongst a “sea of sameness” these once abundant beacons of commerce are disappearing quickly. My goal is to capture as many of these unique pieces of classic Americana before they completely fade away.
My desire is to not just capture the signs, but to capture the energy and “life” surrounding them.
