Shiny and New

Ruvo Building Inside and Out

What’s with all this new construction? So the heady days of the boom really brought a bunch of new shiny things to Vegas. Not that Vegas wasn’t shiny enough already, but money was coming in from all over the place and where it landed, something new eventually popped up. Case-in-point, this gem of a building that was probably hand drawn on a napkin and voila, a building is born. Read the rest of this entry »

Atypical Vegas

We photograph a lot of  people in Vegas. Nightclubs, restaurants and casinos are the requisite backdrops to many of our subjects. However, the Las Vegas Springs Preserve’s Origen Experience was a reprieve. Read the rest of this entry »

Vdara in the Sky with Diamonds

Though not quite Manhattan, City Center is definitely an improvement to the growing Vegas skyline. Glass is quickly replacing stucco as the material of choice for Vegas’ casinoteurs or condoneers. Vdara, one of the buildings within City Center, is a hybrid hotel/condo. Buyer or renter beware, you’ve got huge windows as walls in your bathroom.

Looks like our Geisha has put these Sugar Cane revellers in the mood. What started out as a straight forward architectural photo shoot turned into something quite more. Read the rest of this entry »

Sincerest form of flattery…

Parody FAIL! Not enough bling!

Parodies are the sincerest form of flattery. At least that’s what we thought when we saw these two gems. What do you think? Chris and Marley of Zowie Bowie are one of our more adventurous clients. And though we have to give props to the parodists, they just don’t compare to the real thing(s)! Read the rest of this entry »
