Travel: Las Vegas Street Photography (1 of 3)



2026-06-13 - Las Vegas, NV - Photo by Robert Ellis, robertelliswoodworking.com.
Robert writes, "On this trip to Utah we checked off all the places we wanted to see during our visit. Since we had a later flight on our departure day, and no specific plans, I suggested, 'Why not leave St. George early and wander around Las Vegas for a couple hours?'

'You just want to do street photography,' she said. Busted!!!

There's potential around every corner of that city, from the architecture to the crowds; walking around with a cell phone, and since everyone has one, provides the opportunity for clandestinely capturing photos without causing much of a fuss. I got a little too carried away and time got away from us. We wound up rushing to get the rental car turned back in and off to the airport in time for the flight back to Kentucky. Adventure can take on many forms!"
