Osher Lecture Series —<br />
Up Around The Bend: Stories and<br />
Legends in Palos Verdes’ Portuguese Bend<br />
NEW!<br />
When Don Christy made a discovery in a<br />
closet at his home in Portuguese Bend,<br />
it started him on a journey into local<br />
history. The closet contained aerial photos<br />
of Palos Verdes, especially the Portuguese<br />
Bend area, left there by his late stepfather,<br />
John Vanderlip, son of the founder<br />
of Palos Verdes. As Don studied the<br />
pictures, and traced the development<br />
of the land since the shots were taken in<br />
the 1930s, other residents of the area began to share their<br />
own stories with him.<br />
Don decided to write a book with the help of Portuguese Bend<br />
residents called Up Around The Bend: Stories and Legends in Palos<br />
Verdes’ Portuguese Bend.<br />

The Evolution of the Digital Image<br />
NEW!<br />
In today’s world, digital imaging is common place and has become<br />
an integral part of human life, be it via still photographs, video<br />
images, digital TV, scanning, cell phones, social media, internet,<br />
etc. All over the entire planet the digital imaging process is being<br />
utilized to communicate and “share” our conversations, our<br />
images, our stories. It has become the dominate form of communication.<br />
But how did this happen? How did the digital imaging<br />
process evolve and progress into what it is today, leaving the old<br />
technology “in the dust” (have you seen a telephone booth lately?)<br />
This presentation will give a brief overview of<br />
film, still-photography and video-tape recording<br />
(and other now outdated imaging systems),<br />
leading up to the start of the “digital revolution<br />
in imaging” which is what we experience today;<br />
and has now become quite routine for most<br />
everyone in their daily lives.<br />
We will also look at some of the newer technologies<br />
that are currently available to consumers to<br />
better enhance their digital imaging experience.<br />
