Drinking with friends on a spring evening at Peach Garden.

“The earth is but an inn for each to pass the night. We are all travelers through time, dreaming. How much gladness shall we see? The ancients frolicked through night streets with their wicker lamps, as spring is for poetry. In this peach garden, friends celebrate with song. I am not worthy of their brilliance. They view the mystic scene and share lofty thoughts. Under the moonlight, wine cups chase flowers. Only poetry can speak this night. Sing or drink three cups to our health!”

– Li Bai

An avid traveler, Robert Coyiuto always brought his Leica camera, and among the places visited were London, Paris, New York City, Mexico, and Cairo.

“As long as his father lives,
a son should study his wishes; after he is dead, he should study his life. If for three years he does not forsake his father’s ways, he may be called dutiful.”
