Week In Review: December 18-24

Merry Christmas Reno!  Here’s a quick recap of the last 7 days in the world of I Shoot Reno.  While this past week focused mainly on Instagram postings, there are some pretty cool inclusions here, starting with my (failed) attempt at capturing Knitting Factory’s ad featuring a crowd shot from Sage Francis’ headlining performance earlier this December.  Note the ’15 Minute’ reference on the sign … perhaps a subliminal reference to my own 15 minutes of fame in the digital billboard world.  In case you’re wondering, the image overlay was done using the Juxtaposer app.

Life is rough features the Juxtaposer app again … and that cute little chihuahua which follows me around wherever I go.  Skating under the cold December sky is an image I shot on my iPhone 4S at Rink on the River while out and about for the 2011 Reno Santa Pub Crawl and somehow happened to overlook until this week.  Hawaii 2006 is a picture hanging on our refrigerator which was taken back in 2006 … an homage to our first trip, and a quick celebration of purchasing our tickets for May 2012 (pictures to follow).

Crabs.  Got em? was taken at Whole Foods on December 23rd, amidst the seasonal mayhem.  There was literally employees with carts restocking basically everything, all the time.  Sundog is a snapshot taken while driving on 395 South and passing by Grand Sierra Resort & Casino.  Notice in the center of the picture the small, rainbow-looking section.  That is a sundog if I’ve ever seen one.

Week In Review: December 11-17

I just can’t stop coming up with ‘firsts’ for this growing entity known as I Shoot Reno.  Since there’s always so much excitement in the air around here, I thought it would be perfect timing to roll out the newest addition to the site here in December as a way of preparing for the amped-up new year.  Hence I Shoot Reno’s ‘Week In Review: December 11-17’.

Much like any other, this particular week in December was a thrill to be a part of here in Reno.  In terms of curated content on IShootReno.com, photos from NoBody Really’s opening set for Souls Of Mischief at The Alley kicked things off, along with a Reno Santa Crawl recap for those spirited stumblers who are looking to help piece their evening back together.

Instagram postings include: Anchor Brewing – Our Special Ale 2011, I Shoot Reno’s feature in a digital Knitting Factory ad alongside I-80, photo love from @1937scott, audiophilia, an absolutely delicious (and hidden from the menu) platillo de carnitas at Lupita’s Mexican Restaurant, lens flare and a self portrait with our chihuahua.

As an added bonus for this first edition of ‘Week In Review’ on IShootReno.com, I’ve included my (failed) attempt at personally capturing my 15 minutes of fame.  Why fail?  1) Private Property.  2) I’m not even sure my photo was still in rotation when this was taken (2011-12-17).  Check it out below … and stay tuned for more from I Shoot Reno!
