Travel Photography: Images from Clint Stueve’s World Travels - Jan. 19 - Feb. 11
Clint’s passion to travel was developed at an early age. He was inspired to follow in his Uncle Charlie Temple’s footsteps. Charlie was a Navy Intelligence Officer and travel broadly around the world. Clint’s desire to travel also developed out of his love of reading. He wanted to see and do the things he read about. Lastly, Clint was fortunate enough to have a family that was determined to take a yearly family vacation to a new destination. Thanks to them he was able to see much of this great United States and his first foreign country before venturing abroad on his own.
