vintagelasvegas: Las Vegas, July 1975 - Photo by Jacob HoldtIn American Pictures, Holdt tells the story his first experience in the US in the 70s, hitchhiking coast to coast, encountering fear, poverty, and hostility, and unexpected generosity from strangers. “My parents sent over a camera so that I could ‘prove’ the things I wrote about. It was a cheap half-frame camera that didn’t demand much still from one who had never photographed before.”The woman is Cynthia, a friend of the photographer, standing in front of a Palomino Club billboard located at Las Vegas Blvd & St Louis Ave. The billboard is seen in a photo by another photographer a year later and in film by Ray Dennis Steckler. -- source link
