Tourist Season

Location: Las Vegas, NV

Growing up in Las Vegas, the Strip was never really “ours.” Locals tend to steer clear, trading neon lights for desert trails and mountainscapes. But every now and then, the camera leads me back—to wander, observe, and see the city like a visitor again.

On this particular evening, something pulled me toward the chaos. The forecast called for nothing special, but as the sun dipped, I noticed a glow forming—that perfect bloom of blue hour—and I figured I’d roll the dice.

There’s a spot I had found years ago. One that offers a clean view of the Bellagio fountains and the Paris Hotel. But it’s usually packed—tripods shoulder to shoulder, tourists elbow to elbow. I assumed tonight would be no different.

It wasn’t.

The crowd wasn’t there. The space was open. The light was rich, the clouds cooperative, and the fountain show just about to begin. I set up fast, letting the moment unfold.

A long exposure caught the streaks of headlights cruising past the fountains. The warm glow of the lamps lined up just right. The energy of Vegas was alive, but not overwhelming—just present enough to feel the heartbeat of the city without drowning in it.

It was the version of Vegas I rarely see:
Balanced. Calm. Beautiful.

Tourist Season is a tribute to that in-between—where the buzz of the city meets the quiet of a well-timed frame. A reminder that even in the most crowded places, solitude can still find you… if you’re lucky enough to be there when everything aligns.
