A beautiful scene that I came across while roaming the Nevada desert.

This was one of the most enjoyable projects I’ve done in quite a while. Leslie & The Badgers are one of my favorite alt-americana bands. They’re all amazingly talented musicians, and Leslie’s voice has a soulful depth that is rare in today’s music. When they played in Reno last month, I jumped at the chance to meet them and take some photos.

They were on their way back from Utah, and I meet them outside of town at Love’s Truck Stop. We proceeded to a halfway deserted little town that I had scouted beforehand and shot till the light was gone…and then back to Reno for their show at Davidson’s Distillery.

Dave is an incredibly talented photographer. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have a website, so you’ll just have to take my word for it. My recent portrait of him, pictured above, will be incorporated into Dave’s bio in his upcoming book titled ‘Women.’

I should mention that Dave is also the owner of Davidson’s Distillery, my favorite bar in Reno and by far the best venue for bands. It’s where The Grannies play when they come to town, and The Flesh Hammers often perform there as well.

Here’s some more results from our Pyramid Lake expedition:
