It's an idea Chris and I have been batting around for a few years now: photographing the best neon signs in Portland, Ore., while they're still here to shoot. As we ease into 2009, we've resolved to actually finish the project this year — but we need help finding the best and brightest (ha!) signs in the city and surroundings.
You can see a few of Chris' neon shots at Photo.net. Besides these, we've shot several other locations (to be clear, Chris is the photographer; I'm the ... let's say ... "creative assistant"), but we want to make sure we're not missing any good ones.
If you have favorite neons around town, please post them in the comments section. No sign is too small; we're interested in any good-looking or iconic sign, even if it's just inside a window. One note: we are focusing on night-time shots, so we're especially looking for neon that does what neon is meant to do — lights up!
UPDATE: Chris just posted some more photos and details on the project. Enjoy!
