Have you ever been to Winnemucca, Nevada? No worries, not too many people have stopped to visit and, if they have even know where Winnemucca is, they probably just drove through on their way to some other western destination. I drove the 3 hour each way from my house to Winnemucca last weekend to attend a photography workshop. No doubt, it was a long day of driving. But, I think it was worth it. Can you believe they have managed to make a photography symposium survive for 26 years in Winnemucca? That really says something. The town is an interesting little place and the people are even more striking. This section of Nevada has lots of cattle ranches and open desert range with a smattering of old ghost towns and even mining districts that still strike gold occasionally. I’ll post more about the photography workshop…

When a small child, we would pass through Reno and Winnemucca on our way to visit grandma in Buhl, Idaho. I remember staying, one time, overnight in Winnemucca. There was only one restaurant in town to get a meal.
It is an odd place. That’s for sure.
