Juxtaposition

I’m sure there are two destinations within a few hundred miles that are more different than Elko, Nevada and Salt Lake City, but I’m hard pressed to think of another so polarized pair.
Elko: Whores, 24-hour access to alcohol and gambling, all-you-can-eat steakhouses.SLC: Mormans, 24-hour access to group prayer, and all-you-can-marry churches.
We’ll give you some [...]

Breakfast in Elko

Then came the meat (sorry for the quality – it’s a phone):

A perfect, giant-sized pair of [...]

Day 5: Elko

When you get out on the road with no specific destination, sometimes you have to make some hard decisions.  As we approached Bozeman two nights ago, it became clear that although Salt Lake City has great potential for “griefing” religious zealots (and/or corrupting young Mormans, Orgazmo style), it puts us in a tough spot.  We [...]

Night shots: Elko, Nevada

After dinner and carousing this evening, I headed out for some night shooting. I must say that this is the first place I felt somewhat uncomfortable showing gear alone at night, but nothing happened, or even threatened to happen. Must have been the hard shoulders on the slackers at the bar or the crazy guy [...]
