THANKS TO COCOIP for furnishing the excellent photo used as the icon for the new group JAPANESE NEON..........

About JAPANESE NEON
Photos of neon signs and neon lights in japan. The more neon in the image the better, but sometimes only a flicker of a neon light or sign is also almost as good. This group is open to 6 submissions per member per day. Photos must be original images. Color is the best, but if there is a b/W that indicates neon, it is elgible. Painting and sketches, pastels, pencil sketches, all elgible. Invitations will be posted on images the editors feel would be great examples of the group's purpose. Once this group gains attention, we look for it to expand beyond our wildest expectations. So, if you have some neon images, inside or outside of the building, neon signs in the windows, all from japan, let us then begin on this bright and positive group project.

THE GROUP IS JUST BEGINNING. THE POSSIBILITIES FOR VOLUME IS UNLIMITED, BUT WE MUST ALSO KEEP QUALITY IN MIND. CONSIDER JOINING. INVITATIONS ARE NOT REQUIRED, BUT THEY ARE SENT OR POSTED TO PHOTOGRAPHERS WHO HAVE FANTASTIC PHOTOS OF JAPANESE NEON.............Robert
