This is what long exposure is all about--sharpness where needed, and motion captured. Superb!

How do you keep an idiot like me entertained? Neon + motion. It's a good thing I don't live near there, or I'd be sitting outside right now staring at it.

The Joe's Liquors Roto-Sphere was #37 of about 234 produced. There was another Roto-Sphere in Memphis produced in 1969 (the second to last one made). I'd love to know where it was and what became of it!

The one in Lakeland, FL has just been restored -- here's an article with a video:

I use to live on this street, in the late 80s (20 years ago, holly cow I'm getting old). Joe Liquor store is on the corner of Belvedere and Poplar Avenue. It was next door to a convenience store called Peter Pan's Pantry, which also had a giant neon sign of, guess what, Peter Pan. Except at that time both signs were broken. Not only did the Joe's Liquor sign not spin, it didn't even light up. I was always disappointed that it was in disrepair, and feared it would just be torn down. I later learned that is was restored, apparently some short time after I left Memphis. Your photos are great. Thank you for sharing them.

Hi Amie,
Love this photo for its composition and vibrant colours. I also like it because I used to frequent this store a lot when I was working in Memphis from '94 to '96. Back then the neon sign read "O's Gins" cause the "J", "E'"and "S" had fallen off. I suddenly remembered I have taken a picture of "O's GINS". Mail it to you as soon as I find it.
I used to live in University Cabanas on Vollentine. I now am back in Mumbai, India.
