I’ve been connected in some way with Fullerton for nearly two decades- I work in an office there sometimes and gone to the college, but not lucky enough to live there. Many times I make stops on the way to the office or to the homes of family in adjacent Brea. I stop and photograph [...]

The infamous Duomo in Florence, Italy. Recently a blind man drew this structure with proper perspective by experiencing it through touch and description. It amazed scientists and researchers alike.

Venice is a place I’d like to visit again almost more than any other city. The sun was setting on this day, and though the air was chilly, the day had been warm. The sun kept us comfortable as we rode the ferry along the Grand Canal back toward our humble hotel. A meal in [...]
