Shooting the West




















Shutter bugs will invade Winnemucca this weekend, and take home thousands of photos of the town and surrounding area. (this is a great, yet apparently unrecognized marketing tactic)

Many come with a collection of their own best and favorite images and books .

About 250 photographers will meet for Shooting the West XIX - The Nevada Photography Experience. A weekend of hanging out with a crowd of people who all share the same passion. A chance to view hundreds of great photos. Most are printed in large formats, or projected to huge images. During the presentations the photographers discuss their works; this is the first one:

One thing they could really use is a new website. You might think it would be full of examples of the works of past presenters and contest winners, but think again. (any of you site designers I know listening?)
