After graduating from the military photojournalism program at Syracuse University, David Greitzer travelled the world photographing and writing for Stars and Stripes and other military publications. After the Navy, he continued in journalism with stints at the Associated Press, Sacramento Union and Auburn Journal. He continues to document history through the lens as well as enlarging his stock photo library. “If Charles Bukowksi and Alfred Eisenstadt had a son, I would be it,” he says. See David’s work here.

Suzie Rodriguez loves dichotomy. She’s as happy roughing it in a tent as luxuriating in a five-star suite; relishes Third World street food and Michelin’s finest; likes to tool slowly through the vineyards on her bike and drive fast cars on mountain roads. The author of three non-fiction books and countless magazine and newspaper articles, she lives in the historic wine country town of Sonoma, California–but spends as much time as she can in San Francisco.   www.facebook.com/suzierod
