Don't click if you think I'm hogging - there are a few more coming - These are B/W Casino shots

Ordinarily it is not allowed to photograph inside a casino. But I'm not ordinary, and I asked the straight shot portrait people's permission by winking at my camera and saying I'll be quick about it.

I'm an inveterate Blackjack player, I play by the rules, and don't get emotional. So I don't as a rule lose or win much. I save the emotion for my photos.

I did not crop these as tightly as I could have, in order to allow some of the surroundings to give you a feel for the action.


I hope you like these.

1. I really love the composition
of the first and last photos. They look like magazine shots. :)

4. Oh gosh Mira. These
are all great! The black and white shots certainly do allow for a real feel of the place.

Really like your first shot. The dealer in the foreground is certainly the focal point of the photo, but my eye is also drawn to all the activity happening in the background.

6. way to go, Mira
These look like they could be in a photo book of Las Vegas. My fave is the first, but all of them are wonderful. I love having the wheel in the picture.

7. I've really enjoyed
all of your Vegas pics. I've never been there but it sure looks like a hoot of a place to visit.

Thanks for the tour!
