A prompt to encourage your practice of creativity this week from Riversider and local author Larry Burns.
Each week, we will introduce a new neighbor. This is not a who's who list. These are regular Riversiders doing exceptional things.
Julian Jolliffe is a photographer specializing in fine art landscape, cityscape, and nightscape based in Riverside, California. Born and raised in Riverside, Julian has been photographing its natural and urban landscape for the past couple of decades. As a staff photographer for the Riversider Magazine over the past few years, he has had the opportunity to photograph many local landmarks, community events, and beautiful vistas for the benefit of the magazine and the city of Riverside, which has been a very rewarding experience.
