Typical Town
Photograph by Robb Kendrick
Away from the ranches and rodeo arenas, Elko's Old West flavor becomes less pronounced. Commemorating another era in American history, a driver in a classic automobile show idles at the hotel-heavy intersection of Third and Idaho Streets—a generic corner of Elko's business district that looks no different from many other small U.S. cities. (The photograph appears backward because it was made with the tintype process, a historical medium that produces positive images on a sheet of iron.)
