seeing Color in a New Light

| kristencastillo

How illuminating! I attended the media preview of Color in a New Light, the new exhibition at the Fleet Science Center and I was wowed. Interactive stations throughout the exhibit are full of color, design and imagination. 

My sons and I enjoyed the whole experience, especially the walk-in kaleidoscope, mirrors, lenses and prisms, glow in the dark objects, a monochrome room with sodium bulbs, the light show DJ, and more.

The entertaining and informative exhibit was created by local scientists with a focus on how we perceive light and color including color that’s seen and unseen. 

Color in a New Light will be at the Fleet Science Center until May 2024. The exhibit is included in regular admission.

Celebrating the San Diego Press Club at their annual journalism awards

| kristencastillo

I had an amazing time at the San Diego Press Club’s annual journalism awards. It was the chapter’s 50th anniversary! I’ve been a board member of the Press Club for nearly a decade and I’ve been a member for a lot longer than that.

In addition to enjoying the awards gala, I was honored to receive three awards for my writing: two for “House Digest” articles and one for retirement blogs for a client of mine.

Here’s are the award winning “House Digest” articles: Best Vacation Rentals in Charleston, S.C. and “Quick and Easy Decluttering in Less Than 10 Minutes.”
