Full Moon over Las Vegas

Making the Poster

Back in the glory days of Las Vegas before it became the world's entertainment capitol for all age groups to experience Monte Carlo, New York and Paris by just walking across the street, the famous Strip was laid out with an incredible view from an area by Russell and Industrial Roads.  Driving along this route one night, I saw the most beautiful full moon rising above the casinos in the east.  The moon as is often the case in the Desert Southwest seemed to be artificial, appearing bigger than life.  I made a promise to myself that I was going to photograph this scene in the near future. 

On a calm, clear night in July 1995, I managed to catch the full moon rising just as I had seen it on that special night.  The "Full Moon over Las Vegas" became one of my most popular photographs and I was approached by The Insider Viewpoint of Las Vegas to reproduce it into a poster.  As a result, five thousand 15"x26” posters were printed to represent this historical landmark view of the Las Vegas Strip.  

Through popular demand, the Full Moon over Las Vegas Poster was printed for a second run and is now available for the first time on my website. For information to order the Full Moon over Las Vegas Poster, please follow the link:

With my Nikon and tripod, my goal is to recreate the scene as it appears in nature, to preserve in a photographic image the awesome, yet simplistic beauty of the scene that waits around a bend or over a hill. Sometimes it's a colorful landscape, and many times I'm allowed in the presence of the numerous creatures that adapt to life in the wild.

What an exciting and interesting photo-adventure this day has been.  I love it when I am drawn to an area and not knowing what to expect I get treated to new experiences.

Photography places me in the moment where I can share that moment in time. It becomes a life story as represented by my interaction with the scene. The happiness and beauty or the sorrow and strife; how I focus leaves a lasting impression that might touch the viewer on a spiritual level.
