California State University at Long Beach is a dreamy landscape for a Southern California architectural photographer like me. The campus is lush with greenery and minutes from the Pacific Ocean, giving their diverse student body a glimpse of the ocean between classes. How great is that?

Travel Time to Taipei. For a majority of my life, the farthest I had traveled from Southern California was Arizona (I know, I know).
