  Controlled Burn Appreciates Local Artist
  Support!!

  THANK YOU Truckee Meadows photographers for coming out to
  support Controlled Burn and being willing to share your considerable
  talent with us. Our own Pat Herz (link opens in new window) has
  been snapping Controlled Burn most of this year, and that link is to
  his Flickr site. We have also heard from David Guntner (link opens in
  new window) who's gotten some amazing shots, and also Severio Cine
 (link opens in new window) who snapped a bunch of pics from the
  DaDa Motel opener. Controlled Burn encourages everyone to visit
  these fabulous artists, look at their pictures, say "hi" to them if you
  see them at our shows, and please admire their magnificent talent.
  Controlled Burn thanks you and we tip our hat to you in sincere
  gratitude and thanks! If you'd like to be added to the above list
  or have snapped photos of Controlled Burn, we'd love to hear from
  you! Please contact Gemini and she will arrange to get your
  photos/footage from you.
