Travis Price, architect, strives for “ecology, technology and modernity” in his designs. His home is one of the more distinctive in Forest Hills.

David Luria believes anyone can take amazing photos with any kind of camera. That belief turned into a small business, Washington Photo Safari, that is entering its 15th year.

Lee Armfield Cannon moved into the neighborhood relatively recently, and immediately felt right at home.

Dorn McGrath gave us an overview of five artists who live in the neighborhood, including Dorothy Fall.

Deborah LaCroix‘s art includes striking still lifes, portraits and sculptures.

Setsuko Ono is a quiet person. Her sculptures and paintings are anything but.
