I lost track of what week it is

IMAGE COPYRIGHT RENO GAZETTE-JOURNAL

It's not that I haven't learned anything. It's just that I haven't taken a day off for 17 days straight.

1. Some people still respect newspapers. They are usually retired elderly women, but they are out there.
2. Single? Put on some Wranglers and a cowboy hat and head out to the Reno Rodeo. If you don't look like a poseur like I did, you might be able to pick up some "buckle bunnies".
3. Reno has the highest concentration of people who see me carrying around two D2Hs and immediately assume I am working for a TV or radio station. They are usually disappointed when I say I work for a newspaper.
4. Sleep is overrated.
5. It's really nice to talk to someone who understands what Aksarben means.

Eyes in the sky

This week's shootout theme was "eyes in the sky". If you want to see half a dozen or so other photographers kicking my butt, check out the link on the right.

Whole Lotta Love

Images from a small project on the carnival, apparently a great place to go if you have a date. I wouldn't know, I'm too busy hiding in the shadows with cameras.

International shootout: Red Week

Last Wednesday, Greg Blobaum and I started a shootout. The theme this week was red. The only rule in the shootout is to submit four photographs that you think fits the theme.

Not long after a theme was decided, the whole thing snowballed to include quite a few Nevada photographers. I am not sure how they will show off their entries, but in a few weeks we'll figure something out.

So check out Greg's blog, leave comments or questions, etc. If you don't know him and are afraid to leave a comment on his blog, this is all you need to know.

Here are my entries. If you want in on this, let me know.
