Ronda — I’ve traveled extensively for 40 years. In almost every style there is.

Why there is no such thing as too much sketching
For prime moments in my life (where the camera lens does that zoom-in doublequick as the camera is pulled back on the track)- this would be one.
For a while, it felt like there was no more need for me to see more renaissance art.
