Ansel Easton Adams was born on February 20, 1902 and died April 22, 1984. Ansel was a landscape photographer and environmentalist known for his black-and-white images of the American West.

Alan Sidney Patrick Rickman was born 21 February 1946 and died on 14 January 2016. He was an English actor and director that I came to love in many of his roles. I picked this quote from him because it makes sense. I do feel we’re governed by idiots and I am not sure if […]

George Denis Patrick Carlin was born on May 12, 1937 and died on June 22, 2008. George was an American stand-up comedian, actor, philosopher, author, and social critic. George Carlin to me is a brilliant man. Many say his form of comedy was black or dark comedy but I looked at him as a realist […]
Stevland Hardaway Morris was born on May 13, 1950 aka Stevie Wonder, is an American singer, songwriter, musician and record producer.
