In Casino, Out of MInd

Hours before heading out to San Francisco for my flight to Connecticut I decided to do a one night only project at the Tachi Palace in Lemoore, Ca. In this project I wanted to take pictures of the casino people in the most candid fashion. It's weird... seeing how lost they can get, so focused on making easy money, sitting there... waiting for the big bucks to come in. The odds are against them, but they continue to stay there waiting for the jackpot to ring. With the Canon G12 I was able to sneak these shots without getting caught. It was pretty depressing since most of these people will continue doing this for the rest of their life.
