I feel that is missing today. The Nested Doll is a group for those who really enjoy great conversation and deep and ho …

Street photography is the art of exploring life as it happens in the everyday moment, capturing the lives of others with an instant while observing your own, its not about creating photo memories, its about dissolving one's self in the experience of coincidences.

Street photography often tends to be ironic and can be distanced from its subject matter, and often concentrates on a single hu …

Hey there! Welcome to Eclectica! I am a Los Angeles native who has constantly traveled a little ways away from the mainstream path. I never really had an interest in sports, politics or mainstream culture. It took me a long while to realize that there wasn’t really a problem with who I was or what I was capable of accomplishing. With that said, I have always felt positive that there are many others who have a strong desire to meet, relate and celebrate who we are and what we have to offer. I am …

How many of us moved here, bought guidebooks, and planned to go to all the museums, take in all the culture and see all the sights? And then we got jobs, and then we got busy, and now it's been years, and we still haven't been to the Science Museum, or the Norton Science Museum? I know that's the case for me! I've been making New Year's resolutions to go to at least one museum/cultural thing a month, but something always comes up, and besides, it's more fun to go in groups and meet like-minde …
