Artist's Comments

These sculptures line the Truckee River Walk. The works are:

Sculptures of Nevada
copyright 1991
John Battenberg, San Fransisco

Interestingly (or sadly enough) some of the sculptures were stolen and John was travelling through Reno and agreed to remake the stolen statues.

Please see my journal for rules on my stock photos.

The sculptures are definitely interesting and very well created. I am so sorry to hear about the previous sculptures being stolen, but I am glad that new ones could be made! :)

Regardless of the camera (single-use or digital) you happen to have in your hand, what matters is that you are able to capture the moment! Otherwise, you'd miss out on this very experience that can serve as a great photo 'reinforcement' to your memories!

Thanks. I imagine the people who stole them were probably vandals and didn't take them to put them up in their house. My mom said the artist was literally just passing through town and the community begged him to replace them. Kind of a neat story.

Thanks for using my stock. Oddly enough the last two deviations made from my stock were named Broken Dreams and Room of Broken Dreams...
