Another lo-fi film night shot from that first desert night shoot back in 1989. Essex, CA.
Yes, it really is a painted wood Route 66 sign (intentionally shot so the moonlight would enhance the grain). This was a genuine CA DOT highway marker, not some home made tribute sign. I wanted to pinch this, but didn't have proper tools. At the time I didn't really realize how incredibly rare this item was, or I would have tried harder. There are no more original Route 66 signs still on the road. Due to constant theft, they were replaced with painted logos on the highway.
Night, full moon, outdated 160T film, 8 minute exposure. Ambient light only.
