The following is the foreward from the book I will be submitting to the 23 Sandy Gallery in Portland Oregon this month.


Reno Motel Life.
This book was inspired by a novel written by a Portland author and follows his story set in Reno Nevada in the late 1980's.


The Morris Hotel on East 4th Street

Reno Motel Life is a photographic story as the novel depicts a number of locations from local drinking holes, motels to the casinos. These landmarks and establishments have shaped Reno into what it is today, part bustling tourist destination part quiet town thriving on a good ole' entrepreneurial spirit.
I invite you to browse through and enjoy Reno through the eyes of a photographer inspired by a great novel about a time when Reno was a bit simpler. ~Sue Tomlinson

This project marks a journey for me which is exploritory, arguous and a bit spiritual in my search for peace and recovery. I am an artist and my creative outlet is always tugging on my sleeve to be released.
