[NANCY GUPPY] We want to give a shout out to author and photographer
Matt Hucke on the publication
of his new book, “Seattle Neon.”
This gorgeous large-scale book features over 425
full-color images of historic and contemporary
neon signs from Seattle neighborhoods.
Here's how Matt responded when I asked why he wanted
to immortalize Seattle's neon landscape.
“Seattle's neon signs are a link to
the Seattle of decades past, surviving in an era where
everything old is torn down in the name of profit.
On our wet and dreary winter nights, the brilliant
glow of neon stands out, beckoning the traveler
to places of warmth and comfort.
In creating Seattle neon, I sought to capture the best
remaining pieces of neon art
and to tell the stories of the fascinating individuals
who sponsored and designed these unique landmarks.
