The Long Road
So, I really havent shot much in the last 2 months. This month for my birthday I got a trip to Reno to photograph my college playing UNR in football (we won). Along the way, I took the scenic route so I could take some shots. The ranch house, some trees the road and a TON of football (I got published in the Lubbock Paper). Anyway, along the way I noticed the hills of Nevada gave for some really nice perspectives of the road. So, I pulled over and took this shot. The only thing missing from this one is my bright red cobra.
