Oooh Elvis...

when we were in las vegas this month (already 2 weeks ago by now!) we went to the famous "welcome to las vegas sign". we missed that last time, so.... it turned out there was a little parking area and signs with rules regarding picture taking etc etc.
as you can see, elvis was there too. at first i thought it was just funny and i tried to take some pictures while he wasnt watching. i was sure he was one of those types that wanted money from you for taking a picture of him/with him. but... as it turned out he was just happy to pose. for anyone! 2 times or so he was about to get into his car (or already inside as you can see here) when people took a picture of him. so.. he just jumped out again and posed. just like that. and then i thought it was a little sad... no? a guy, dressed in one of those weird elvis suit, a pink car, happy to pose for anyone with a camera....

Uhhhh, nice car. But I think that's because I like Springsteen's "Pink Cadillac."

There's so much I just don't get about Las Vegas. Elvis impersonators are just one tiny part.

I don't get that, either.

I am constantly surprised when I am out photographing and someone will ask me to include a picture of them! I wonder why when they will never see it and have no idea what I might do with it?
Anyway, I would rather have a shot of the car than Elvis.
