Al Barna and Randall Ann Homan live in San Francisco. They are the co-founders, producers, and hosts of the annual International Neon Speaks Festival & Symposium. Through the fiscal sponsorship of the Tenderloin Museum, they formed a tiny not-for-profit organization, San Francisco Neon, to advocate for the preservation of the artistic legacy of historic neon signs via talks, tours, events, sign design, consultations, and books.
In 2018 SF Neon joined forces with the Tenderloin Museum, the OEWD, and SF Shines for create an initiative to restore vintage signs in the Tenderloin neighborhood of San Francisco, “Tenderloin Neon A-Z”
Al and Randall Ann are the authors and photographers of San Francisco Neon: Survivors and Lost Icons, Neon Icons catalog, and Saving Neon: A Best Practices Guide.
