For the Victims of Domestic Violence Comes a Champion: Face Forward

On Saundra’s 28th birthday, she caught her husband cheating with another woman.  He beat her into unconsciousness and  left her on the sidewalk.  He later told the police that she had been mugged.  As a result of the blunt force trauma she had suffered, Saundra developed necrotizing fasciitis, a rare skin-eating bacterial infection which nearly took her life and cost her all the skin, muscle, and feeling on the right side of her face and…

Thomas Hodges’ Photographic Artistry: Where Conception and Imagination Meet

Thomas Hodges’ photographic artwork invites controversy, which he doesn’t mind one bit!  For sure, it sparks the viewer’s imagination, and that is Hodges’ goal.

The Maestro of Maestros: Gustavo Dudamel

A flick of the baton, a nod of the head, a pointed finger, a hand waving gracefully through the air, a humming along to the music, this is all in a day’s “work” for Gustavo Dudamel, conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, one of the world’s best.  During a concert, he artfully conveys and displays the love he feels for music, as if it has taken hold of his soul, and both the LA…
