OUR BACKGROUNDS

Walt has been a photojournalist for many years and works for the San Gabriel News Group using the name Walt Mancini.  Gloria started taking pictures before she met Walt.   Since retiring from teaching in 2005, she has had time to work on photos, doing webpages, slide shows and personal exhibits.  Most of these pictures were taken with Leica cameras.

The next set of pages showed the different aspects of Southwest France in the spring of 2007:

In January of 2009, we took a trip to Mexico and spent time in the “silver” cities of the central plateau as well as Mexico City.  The pages begin with:  http://www.fogler-mancini-photos.com/Mexico_2009/Old_Mexico.html

We brought back pictures of out-of-the-way places from our trip to southwestern Canada and the northwestern United States in June 2008.  Those pages begin with:  http://www.fogler-mancini-photos.com/SW_Canada_&_NW_United_States_2008/Vancouver_BC.html

We went to Turkey to learn more about the Greek, Roman and Byzantine cultures.  The pictures and commentary begin with:  http://www.fogler-mancini-photos.com/Turkey_2009/Ephesus.html

In the fall of 2010, we traveled to Naples and around the boot, the southern part of Italy.  It’s an area that few people know much about, even though they have certain ideas.  Follow this link to see our pictures and learn more:  http://www.fogler-mancini-photos.com/Naples_&_Southern_Italy_2010/Naples.html

We went to places that were new to us and places that we had seen before in 2011.  We saw incredible mountains and spectacular architecture in northern Italy and the Burgundy region of France.  Follow this link:  http://www.fogler-mancini-photos.com/Northern_Italy_&_Burgundy_2011/Valle_dAosta.html

In February 2012, we went to different places in Mexico:  primarily Puebla and Oaxaca.  Driving, we saw a lot of the country, too.  This link will take you to new places: http://fogler-mancini-photos.com/Mexico_2012/Puebla.html

Sunny Portugal was our destination in the fall of 2012.  Knowing it is a small country whose power and glory are gone, now we enjoy it as a very friendly and relaxed place.  This link will allow you to share our discoveries: http://fogler-mancini-photos.com/Portugal_2012/Lisbon.html
