So many tourist sites and even restaurant sites relating to Sonoma include only a dozen or so restaurants, they have incomplete information, and often include information on restaurants in Sonoma County which could be miles away …
As an aspiring photographer I wanted to display some of my work.
Photography has been a passion for me, however I have not had any formal training. I would like to be accomplished and have people admire my sense of art, however I still have a lot to learn.
