ERB'S FIRST HOME IN RENO NEVADA...

Herb Ringer first came west from his home in New Jersey to get a divorce, He stayed at a small boarding house on 4th Street and kept a running journal of everything he saw...he called his account:
"NOTES ON RENO & VICINITY"
Here are page one and some of the earliest black & white photographs

     HERB RINGER came West from his home in New Hersey in 1939. He never looked back. With camera in hand, Herb photoraphed the American West from the Canadian Border to the Rio Brande and from the Big Sur to the High Plains.
     We believe Herb's collection of Life in the West is one of the finest. His work has been published in the Zephyr for 20 years. I am pleased finally, to offer Herb's photographs in color. We are also building a new 'album' of his work, elsewhere on this site.
     My dear friend died on December 11, 1998...JS
