I took this photo in the summer of 1998. It was a time in my photography career that I was shooting 4x5 on the Las Vegas Strip at night. I would haul my camera around in a red wooden Radio Flyer wagon up and down the strip. I had all my gear in it. It was the best way to have all of my gear ready to go. No fumbling around in a backpack.
At the time, my daughter was watching a lot of Disney movies on VHS. One of those movies was Disney’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame. So, every time we drove by the Stratosphere Tower I would tell her, "Hey look it's the Bell Tower!" She would look out the car window and gaze up in wonderment. To this day, I still call it the Bell Tower.
