A full crop out of the Hasselblad, loaded with #Cinestill50. Went over to get a new shot of the Kingsway theatre as she's a goodie and deserves the sign recognition.

Sun 'n Sand Motel Santa Rosa, NM. 2014. — Tanja-Tiziana, The Buzzing Lights Project

Last night, I shared a story on my feed about this phenomenal sign, and how it has FALLEN after a storm, but I wanted to also share a photo of it in full splendor so you could really appreciate what it was if you haven't seen it before. The scale, the colour, the design.

Barrowland Ballroom Glasgow, Scotland. 2026. — Tanja-Tiziana, The Buzzing Lights Project

I had no idea this sign existed, let alone in an outdoor market in Glasgow, Scotland. I was walking on the sidewalk below it, when my partner looked up and GASPED. "Tanja, look up. Look up!" Above me, 3 storeys of neon tubing. Vegas levels. Well, holy sh*t. We darted across the street to get a real look and attempt to fit it all in a shot. Would have liked to see it by night but maybe some day. The original instagram/threads post of this one went a bit viral on threads and if you want to see the inside, how it looks by night, or know every band that every performed there, just look up that thread.

This is the kind of sign no one thinks about when you ask them if there's any good neon in their town, but my God, what a winner. I wish I could show you my face when I turned the corner and saw this giant sausage before me. 🤣🤣🤣 Would love to have seen it glowing but the blue siding is a nice consolation prize. .
