Metropolis Nevada, that is. Metropolis is now a ghost town (actually little more than a few deteriorating foundations and walls.) My wife and I headed out a while back to check it out and get some photos.
I took a bunch of pictures not just for the strangeness of the environment itself, but to use as […]

We get hummingbirds at our feeders every once in a while…but last week we had some rain that seemed to bring them out in droves. Four were at the feeder in the back yard, and another three were at the feeder in the front yard, and they were all dive bombing each other and fighting […]
A couple weeks ago I headed out to the “Ruby Marshes” as we call them, which are located in the Ruby Lake National Wildlife Refuge. I wanted to get some photos of some of the birds there before it got too late in the season.
I got some pretty good shots of a few different bird […]
This is the time of year when people that live around large areas of dry acreage start to get nervous. “Dry Lightning” has been a real problem this summer, and the West has had record numbers of brush fires.
We’ve had a few in our area, and a few nights back had one in the foothills […]
Computer Graphics lecture at Spring Creek Elementary
Published 1 year, 4 months ago in Elko and 3D Graphics. 1 CommentA few weeks back, my son Casey was having art class and the topic was Graphic Arts. Casey mentioned that was what I did for a living, and the class took a look at my gallery website.
Mrs. Foree is the Art teacher at Spring Creek Elementary, and she thought it might be nice if I […]
The skies can get awfully clear out here in the sticks, and a couple of weeks ago we had a full moon. And as everyone knows, clear night sky + full moon = Bust Out the Telephoto!
This shot was made with my Canon 20D and the beast-like Sigma 50-500mm lens. It was of course racked […]
What was I thinking? A couple of warm sunny days and I’m trying to fool myself into thinking all the snow is gone for the year. Fat chance. If the snow’s gone, what’s all this stuff on the back porch?

Did I mention that I finally got a PS3? They were still pretty non existent here in Elko. But I was at Wal-Mart’s checking out some other stuff a couple weeks back (don’t ask me why…I don’t even like Wal-Mart) and went by to check (once again) to see if any had come in. Didn’t […]
My wife got some tickets for the Silver Stage Player’s amateur production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. It was held at the Great Basin College Theatre. We had a great time…the play was well done, it was funny, there were some great singers, and all in all we really enjoyed it.
I’m looking forward […]
So somehow I got it into my head that since I lived in a small town, I might have a better chance of scoring a PS3…maybe the lines would be shorter or something. After all, if everybody else is out milking cows or working in the mines, who’s got time to stand in line for […]
