From 1996–1998 I was a visiting assistant professor in history at the University of Nevada, Reno. It was a very good non-tenure track job and they treated me exceptionally well. I made good friends there and learned a lot.
These photos, probably from about 1997 or so, turned up when I was cleaning out some stuff in my office. I took them with my Pentax K-1000 camera; I don’t know what kind of film. Then I scanned them with an app, so they’re not terribly high quality. But they do give some flavor of how the city felt to me then—much smaller than it is today (though of course, the Biggest Little City).
