Neon Mesa: Wonders of the Southwest is a stunning photographic record of the vernacular landscape of the American Southwest - the roadside landscape littered with the signs and relics, sights and debris, of countless anonymous road trips. The Four Corners is a unique region where Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and Utah meet. Rob Atkins' photos capture the irony and pathos of the place in icons of the American Dreams, be they those of the Nuclear Age, the Frontier, the Cowboy, or the Native American, all caught in the stark majestic images of a present already passing, in rusting road-signs, flickering neon light, and derelict motels, set against some America's most awe-inspiring natural scenery.


Rob Atkins has been a photographer for over thirty years, beginning his career in New York City. He now lives in Vancouver, Canada, where he divides his time between personal projects and commercial work. He has been widely published and exhibited, including a display of images that was on public view in Rockefeller Center in New York for one year.
