Ciao! I am a fiftyish woman in SanFrancisco who loves Italy and most things Italian since discovering It for myself in 1994. I've gone back nearly every year photographing windows and doors, angels and lions, women in windows and people and monuments and other things that strike my fancy.
I love the theater, eating out and traveling. I adore movies with a passion, and occasions that bring people together over art, food and fun.
I like museums, books, comic book art (hence the name of the plucky reporter!) painting (complete fresco-holic as I am an Italophile) and connecting with people over all these topics.
Lately, my photo habits have turned into my second (or third) job. I've been lucky enough to have a show here in San Francisco and one in Alameda--coffee houses--but a great start!
