One of the best things about traveling as a photographer is the ability to experience a variety of different events that you wouldn’t specifically seek out otherwise. At the start of a week of outdoor adventure and exploration around the Reno Tahoe area, I decided to head to Downtown Reno for the final Controlled Cruise for the week long classic car celebration Hot August Nights.

 Hot August Nights was born in 1986 for a celebration of classic cars. There are few things that are a better symbol of Americana than classic cars from the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s combined with classic music from the same eras.
