Review & Description
Las Vegas Boulevard is a series of photography books being produced in celebration of the renaissance of art and beauty that has reshaped the Las Vegas valley over the past several years. Las Vegas isn’t just a Disneyland for adults anymore, it’s an amalgamation of all things pertaining to attraction, for all ages. These books, shown through the eye of photographer B Lawrence Lowe, pay homage to the higher values of art, design, creativity and showmanship that have permeated the everyday world of the Las Vegas Strip. They also show a sense of antiquity in the lost histories and forgotten markers that still lay present throughout the length of the strip and its surrounding areas. They take the reader through the hidden corners and easily overlooked spots of beauty, art and wonder on a road that embodies the soul of Las Vegas; a road that is constantly creating new changes, and effectively transforming this city into a true pioneer of the 21st century modern metropolis.
We are now in the modern age of instant digital photography, accessible by all people on multiple, daily use devices. It would be an easy comparison in stating that there are probably more pictures taken each day in Las Vegas than there were pictures taken in the whole of the 19th century. With this many images being taken, processed and digitally passed from one medium to another, the photographs presented by B Lawrence Lowe stand out as an artistic and coveted representation of the beauty and art that Las Vegas has carved out of the modern world in creating a culture all its own. Since any attempt to provide an up to date view point of Las Vegas Boulevard would easily wash under a new layer of the road with every passing year, the photo collection will be made and serialized to continuously refresh the reader’s perspective of the city. A constant update meant to capture a sense of establishment mixed with the changing tides and trends that dominate an entertainment fueled paradigm around which Las Vegas has shaped itself.
This is a digital ebook experience. A new way of viewing a photo book through technology. On color readers, tablets or laptops, the photography will display in stunning resolution, although the photography can be enjoyed on many platforms, not just color readers. On most devices the reader will also be given an interactive experience accompanying every page. The reader will notice highlighted words in the captions of the pictures that can take them to various websites, at the reader's discretion. With this interactive feature, it’s the intent to give the reader knowledge and access to the city they would have never gotten by simply looking at the pictures in a conventional book. It also gives the reader the ability to book a reservation or read a review, watch a video or read a newspaper article pertaining to the image’s subject. The randomness in the order of the photos is meant to surprise the reader with every turning page just as if the reader were traveling around the city in person, discovering new amazing things with every step.Las Vegas Boulevard is a series of photography books being produced in celebration of the renaissance of art and beauty that has reshaped the Las Vegas valley over the past several years.
