"Bar Talk" was a fascinating photoshoot that took place in the historic "End of the Trail Saloon," one of Nevada's oldest bars located in Dayton, Nevada, just down the hill from the photographer's home and studio. The photoshoot featured three models - One Eyed Jack Lawrence, Barbara Pradere, and John Dutch, who played the bartender. The concept behind the photoshoot was to showcase different character types that often get together in a bar, such as the bartender, the regulars, and the out-of-towner.

The saloon was open for business while the shoot was taking place, which added to the authenticity of the photographs. I had to deal with numerous suggestions from the bar patrons, but we managed to complete the shoot successfully. The shoot was a fun and exciting experience for everyone involved, and the result was a collection of stunning photographs that captured the unique atmosphere and character of the "End of the Trail Saloon."
