About Ron Roberts
I am a photographer based in Reno NV. My main interest is cars, hot rods, old rusty cars and trucks. Also cloudscapes and a host of other things, I also enjoy photographing the breath taking beauty of the Lake Tahoe Area. I provide commercial and fine art imagery to grace your business and home. I was raised in Northern California, migrating to the beautiful Pacific Northwest after retiring from the United States Army in 1985.
