Walls that are plain, white and boring? Or maybe a picture that looks older than you?
Wouldn't it be great to see something amazing on those walls?

This first edition, ITALY, chronicles a photographic journey across the land of dolce vita through the eyes of 3 photographers:
Wei Wong, Dale MacMillan, and Jason Johnson.
From the quiet canals of Venice to the iconic Colosseum, from a sleepy Sicilian fishing village to the birthplace of the
Renaissance,these startling images capture the soul of a country that defies description.

The idea for "Living the Dream: Italy" was born when Jason moved to Italy to play American Football for the Catania Elephants.
Dale and Wei were not far behind, and a whirlwind two week adventure took them from the island of Sicily in the south,
north to the Eternal City of Rome, through the Tuscan hills to the medieval towns of Florence and Sienna,
along the famed Cinque Terre clinging to the Italian Riviera, and finally to the canals of Venice.
Their experience was epic, as were the images they captured.

The trio are working to establish "Living the Dream" as an ongoing series of fine art photography from journeys around the world.
The opening night of this 1st showcase was on Friday, February 6th and it was a fantastic success!
Authentic Italian appetizers from Sorentino's Cafe were served along with fantastic wine from the Fabiano Winery located in Sona.
The artists were also on hand to answer questions about their work and share stories from their travels.
Thank you to all those who were able to attend!
