Often when interpreting media, we make conclusions based on a single headline or snapshot without going deeper or taking any further evaluation of the source’s reliability. More is to be considered for a greater level of knowledge and understanding.

Who can you trust?

In my time studying abroad one of the most valuable lessons I learned was the importance of noticing the little things. Day-to-day in the walk-able city of Florence I saw the beautiful individuality of each building and door I would pass there from aged ones covered in graffiti to the grand doors of the Duomo. I made it a goal to take at least one photo everyday of a door I'd pass, and have captured their art here.
