Vegas Stripped: He’s capturing Las Vegas in a way that you aren’t — VIDEO

Albert Gomez doesn’t call himself a photographer.

Most people might not even consider him one.

He doesn’t use a camera but a smart phone, and a cheap one at that.

But his goal isn’t to get the picture with the most clarity, the strongest composition, or the most interesting symmetry; but to capture moments from the Vegas streets that show the city’s true character.

“Vegas Stripped” is a weekly profile series appearing on reviewjournal.com and on the Review-Journal’s Facebook page. Find Rachel Aston on Twitter: @rookie__rae
