He has been taking photographs for over 25 years, traveling to over 40 countries and documenting what has become the overriding theme in his photography -- man’s intrinsic need for leaving a mark and the different paths to achieving it. His column, “Orestes’ LIC”, will concentrate on showing snippets of life around the areas we live in. A local record keeper, if you will.

It is over 125 years old. With its granite floors, crystal chandeliers and dark, mahogany panels hung with artwork from local artists, this hangout still maintains its old world character. A nice place to have a cappuccino and a ‘Media Luna.’”
