It’s not always what you do but how you do it that counts. (more…)

The 12th century was a great time to dwell in the City of Pisa, Italy. Holy Roman Emperor Frederick I granted the city freedom of trade with all of Europe. A recent victory against Sicily marked the apex of its power, equal to that of mighty Venice. (more…)

Phillip Toledano was born on December 6th, 1968 to an American father and a French Moroccan mother, His parents gave him a camera at the age of two, and he’s been taking ’slightly odd’ photos ever since. (more…)
