Scope and Contents

The Locations outside Nevada series (1978-2005) contains images of events and locations throughout the United States and abroad.

Examples of some of the many cities Paluzzi captured include San Francisco, California; San Diego, California; Aspen, Colorado; Honolulu, Hawaii; Chicago, Illinois; Kansas City, Missouri; New York City, New York; and Washington D.C. Famous national landmarks and memorials found in these cities include The White House, United States Capitol, and Vietnam War Memorial. Natural landscape images also vary wildly and feature well-known locations such as the Grand Canyon, Yosemite National Park, Death Valley, and The Great Smoky Mountains. Paluzzi also photographed many events and gatherings, such as balloon festivals, intertribal Native American ceremonies, world's fairs, and conventions. Additionally, major sporting events like National Football League (NFL) Super Bowls, World Series baseball games, Kentucky derbys, and automobile races are included. The remainder of the series consists of images taken abroad and include England, France, Belgium, and Canada. These images depict scenic views of major cities and famous landmarks, such as the Eiffel Tower, Versailles Palace, and the Brussels Grand Palace.
