It’s one thing to be an amateur photographer, and quite another to be a professional. It’s hard for me to imagine the amount of hard work and persistence it must take to consistently produce quality photos like the ones featured in this episode of Visiting. But these professionals definitely have some incredible stories to tell! Huell meets the photographers behind […]
After coming home from a Folsom Lake hike with the Big Guy yesterday, we both collapsed in front of the TV and somehow found ourselves watching a couple of great Vincent Price movies: The Last Man on Earth (1964) and Master of the World (1961). I had never heard of either of them, but they got me thinking about this […]
When I spent a week in San Francisco at the end of August, one of my original plans was to take a tour of the Maritime Museum near Hyde Street Pier. For various reasons, that plan didn’t work out; so as a sort of consolation I decided to check out this episode of Visiting from the mid 1990s in which […]
One of the most exciting parts of watching the Tour de France is the mountain climbing; it takes some special skills and the right sort of gear setup to stay in contention while suffering over the peaks of the Alps and the Pyrenees. And while I’ve seen some ferociously steep mountains feature in a few different professional bike races, I’ve […]
Since today is Veteran’s Day in the U.S., I thought it would be appropriate to share this hour-long episode of Visiting which features the guided missile cruiser USS Antietam. Launched back in February 1986 and currently stationed in Yokosuka, Japan, this ship is a truly impressive piece of naval hardware. But it’s the crew that brings life to any ship, […]
Suppose you were shooting a movie and were in desperate need of some Fiberglas rocks, some plastic roses, dramatic statuary — or perhaps a shrubbery? In this episode of Visiting, Huell meets the folks who are your best bet for all of the above and much more. This family-owned business is now in their fourth generation of providing the backgrounds […]
I had never heard of a garden railroad before seeing this episode of Visiting, but the Fairplex Garden Railroad in Pomona is such a wonderful place, I’m not too surprised to learn that creating these garden railways is a popular hobby worldwide. Join Huell as he visits Fairplex Pomona to see their Garden Railroad. The Fairplex Garden Railroad is considered […]
Back in December 2016, I learned a little bit about the Cahuilla people and their history when I visited the Riverside Metropolitan Museum. But there is so much more than could possibly be learned in one short afternoon; that much is clear from seeing Huell’s visit to Palm Springs and to the amazing Palm Canyon oasis in this episode of […]
A few days ago I happened to see an episode of the Science Channel show Mysteries of the Abandoned, and they had a segment about the Salton Sea and the ghost town of Bombay Beach. The story seemed vaguely familiar — and then I remembered that Huell had featured the area in a couple of different episodes. I’m pretty sure […]
