Polaroid photograph of a colorful neon sign under a night sky. It reads: "ERIE-LASALLE" in red and "BODY SHOP" in pink contained within a green 1950s-style automobile. A marquee board underneath reads "OUR FAMILY SERVING YOURS SINCE 1934" "STATE OF THE ART REPAIRS". All lights are streaked across the photograph to create a motion effect in-line with the neon car's direction of travel; an effect created by laterally moving the film negative inside the camera across the film plane, with the camera shutter remaining open.

Scanned Polaroid photograph of a red, pink and blue neon sign at night.
