Pinball Series: Just Married

From the Manitou Springs Penny Arcade.

These older machines with the paint coming off are my favorites to photograph. I thought you're suppose to put the "Just Married" sign on the back of the car...not your unsuspecting hubby.

In the Pinball Time Machine photo essay.

    I think this is a difficult series b/c you are really just making a copy of other people's artwork with the tight crop...maybe if we could see the machines in their environment or people playing them etc. it would be more interesting...

    Yes, I fought with that concept and I really thought long and hard about me photographing other people's artwork. It is a pet peeve of mine. But what turned me around was looking at it as a documentation of the work before time got the best of them.
    Thanks for your input.
