LONDON, ENGLAND This city buzzes with incredible style and sophistication, rich in architectural details, history and culturally significant sites. Walking the streets in London and stepping into pubs, hotels and retail stores is one of my favorite things to do. The various neighborhoods are unique and full of their own personality. One of my best experiences was spending hours at the Victoria and Albert museum, walking for hours with my 35mm camera exploring, photo taking and enjoying my time alone in this fabulous city. FLORENCE, ITALY This is a beautiful city which has a rich history of architec- ture, politics, social change, art and design. Walking the city and taking time to look and absorb the details which have been there for centuries is a must. Mosaics, ceiling details, color combinations and wrought iron decorate every corner of this ancient city to give it personality. MIAMI, USA This city is famous for the beach, but for me, I love the clean and fresh architecture. The bright colors, bold shapes and bountiful foliage always makes me feel alive. There is a bold expression of design which is all about making the body and mind feel good. Luxurious and dec- adent, Miami allows indulgence without guilt. The “light” is so fresh and bright that whites and pastels are perfectly suited for exteriors and interiors. The interiors tend to be clean and simple without clutter.
