Above Tahoe and Reno [Illustrated] [Hardcover]

Warren Lerude (Author), Robert Cameron (Photographer)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 1, 1995

Above Tahoe and Reno. A unique combination of natural beauty and the handiwork of man. I am accustomed to looking down on the highrise canyons of New York or Chicago, or across the vast sweep of architecture in Paris or London or Washington. And even Yosemite and Hawaii do not present the challenge that faced me with the pristine elegance of this area. The problem was to capture its diversity. With the aid of Warren LeRude and Perry Di Loreto, I was able to present a new picture of one of the most beautiful lakes in the world and its relation to the bustling desert city, Reno.

Hardcover, 9"x12", Album bound, 108 pages. Printed on acid-free, high-gloss paper.

3.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful but out of date pictures, June 17, 2000

This review is from: Above Tahoe and Reno (Hardcover)

We were disappointed in the pictures because many of them are out of date. We travel to Lake Tahoe often, and know the area well. The 'current' picture of Stateline, for example, did not even have Harvey's casino on it. We recently purchased 'Above Chicago' and loved it. The old pictures were great, and the 'current' views of those old pictures were up to date. We expected the Above Tahoe to be similar. It wasn't.

Wow, what gorgeous pictures, Robert Cameron is an amazing photographer and the images in this book are just breathtaking. I defer to the other reviewer on whether the pictures are current, I assume looking at the publishing date of this book that they where not taken yesterday, but quite frankly Lake Tahoe is timeless and the pictures are amazing, whether taken 1 year ago or 10 years ago, a great picture is a great picture. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys great photography and amazing scenery, but if you are looking for a picture of the most current casino in Reno, you may be disappointed.
