Links
The Nevada and Photographic Portal
This page provides some of the most useful links on the web referring to both Nevada and the Eastern Sierra. The information found on these websites is invaluable and if you liked Sierra Life, don't be surprised if you find yourself coming back to these quite often. We strive on our visitors coming back each year and local agencies built these sites to reach out to the rest of the world. I've asked them and they've asked me to post these links so you, the visitor, can learn more about our little bit of paradise.

Nevada's Historical Markers
- Beginning in late 2007, I deciding to break from my business photo schedule to seek out and catalogue all of Nevada's 266 State Historic Markers. Why? Call it a labor of love for history!

Forgotten Nevada
- Ever heard Ramsey? Seven Troughs? Pine Grove? How about National? C'mon, Pamlico has to ring a bell, or maybe Bolivia, La Plata, or Hamilton. If you've never heard of these ghost towns, that's probably because there's little left to find out. These and many other old mining camps are almost gone from history due to the sad sands of time. Fortunately, two guys, Bob and Luis, have gone out of their way to access, photograph, document and wonderfully record such lost places before it's too late. Although it relates really nothing to photography, this sight is A MUST SEE if you are a true ghost towner, or lover of history. It's also a Nevada-Landmarks.com buddy site!
