In 2010 a reoccurring dream about Taylor Swift sends Rush Whitacre down the path of trying to answer her question from his dream, "Color, Which Color". Along the way in recording his history Rush finds solace in his writing while both his parents nearly die, his education crumbles beneath him, and his only home disappears before his eyes as he is ever pushed in the direction of moving to New York to find his place in the universe. There are 365 letters and 365 poems. In Rush's words, "You may find yourself in my pages, my poems, and sometimes wrapped up inside my arms crying with me as I did upon my work countless times."

Newell D. Chamberlain was born in 1880 and spent his early years in San Francisco. In 1926 he established Camp Midpines, so named because it was "amidst the pines and midway between Merced and Yosemite." In the 1930s he compiled this chronicle of events during and after the Gold Rush -- drawing on newspapers of the time and interviews with early pioneers and their children. The result is this kaleidoscopic view of life in a dramatic era in the history of California. Illustrated with many historic photographs, some of which have not previously been published.

Wonderland explores the hidden realities of life before and after the fall of the USSR. The story of Communism is the story of the 20th century. For many, the Soviet Union existed, like their childhood, as a fairy tale where many of the realities of life were hidden from plain view. When the Berlin Wall finally fell, so too did the illusion of that utopia. Wonderland is a photographic exploration that portrays both the reality beneath the veneer of a utopian USSR and the affirmation that hope that should never be abandoned.
