Brent Tyler's Photo Galleria
THE PLACE AT THE LAKE —"I've made my statement," Brent said of the home he and Anne built at Tahoe Paradise. On July 12, 2007, during the Angora fire, he wrote "(here are) pictures of the burn at Tahoe, but not mine. God was with me on that day..." The above is the last photo he ever took of his beautiful "statement."
INSIDE THE DREAM HOUSE ONE LAST TIME
THE TYLERTANIC —We all knew Brent loved boats, but this is a face only a father could love. (One of my fondest memories is of the wintry early-80's Saturday which my wife, Betty, our No. 2 son spent and I spent with Brent and Anne at the cabin and circumnavigating Lake Tahoe on his flat-bottomed boat. He even let the kid drive. Brent never mentioned what happened to the above homemade model, perhaps a previous victim of a youthful operator. — Andrew Barbano)
Brent's sense of the profane...
TWO OBSESSIONS BECOME AS ONE — Brent loved cars and politics. The above photo apparently reminded him of both Detroit wheels and political wheeler-dealers with whom he had become acquainted over lo, those many years.
TRAINING WHEELS — Brent at the Isetta concession during a recent installment of Hot August Nights. (The Isetta was a highly unstable three-wheeled Fiat sold in the U.S. in the 1950's. It certainly got great mileage, an irony which the superannuated conservative very probably pointed out to a safety-conscious environmentalist or two, or seven, or twelve.)
...and the profound
Brent sent the following meditation on eternity on July 31, 2007
OK, folks, take a close look at the picture above and you can see where this guy broke through the guard rail (right side where the people are standing on the road). His truck left the road, traveling from right to left. He flipped end-over-end, across the drainage outlet and landed on the left side of it.
Now, look at the 2nd picture, below....
IF YOU WEREN'T A BELIEVER IN GOD BEFORE, WOULD YOU BE AFTER THIS?
And finally, a father's advice to parents: Watch out for the hatchlings and don't forget to duck!
