About
Neon signs aren't unique to America, but the style in Austin is distinctly American.
Like most people in Austin, I'm not from Austin. But unlike most, I'm not from America. As an outsider, I find these signs particularly captivating. Each photo I take sparks different memories of the venues—tastes come back to me, conversations flood my mind, and the people I spent time with or met there feel present again. It always makes me smile.
These feelings give me a similar buzz to the signs themselves: vibrant, full of energy and color. But my feelings and memories for each sign will be different to yours, and the fact that they can evoke a range of emotions across different people is what makes them so special. The variety of feelings—the nostalgia you get from seeing these signs or a picture of one—makes it even more meaningful.
The way it can rewind the clock and give you a taste of the past is what I think makes them stunning. I hope you enjoy these as much as I do and that each sign carries a different meaning and memory for you.
