Uptown Lounge (2022) #bleedingneon #polaroid #neon #chicago #4am #photography
Scanned Polaroid photograph of a red and blue neon sign at night. The sign reads:

UP 🍸
TOWN

LOUNGE
'TIL 4AM


The photo has been made with an analog technique called "bleeding neon", in which the photographer laterally moves the film emulsion in-camera across the film plane while the shutter remains open, streaking the neon light across the film negative.

Dare to compare: 1976 center court vs the current one at Florence Mall in Florence, KY. Conversation pits and ceiling art are overdue for a return.
