I love old signage and theater marquees. Océane Buret, a recent transport from Paris, has beautifully captured LA’s most historic and famous landmarks with just a point and shoot camera. Don’t you wish they still made them like they used to?

I love the sense of nostalgia in these photos. The color of the sky in the second photo down is pretty incredible.
Beautiful pictures. Thank you for this inspiration.

I love these – they’re all over Los Angeles and it really evokes a sense of a different (more glamorous) time.

CBS News had a great story recently about 100th anniversary of neon signs and how they are dying out because of LED lighting. Kind of sad actually.

Love these fun vintage buildings. They’re classic, slightly outdated, simple and whimsical.

If you love old signage…head to the neon sign graveyard in Vegas. Photograph Heaven!

Love retro neon lighting! I actually just did my own post about it because i realized it was such a trend on Pinterest. Did you know there is a Retro Neon sign boneyard museum in Las Vegas? Would love to go.. Here’s the article http://messynessychic.com/2012/03/22/pinterest-trend-du-jour-retro-neon-lights/
