He worked for several years as an energy consultant, earning a Masters of Business Administration degree from the University of San Diego. After transitioning to a career in photography, Torrey got the opportunity to travel to Peru as part of an architecture school group. In May, his first book, “Stone Offerings, Machu Picchu’s Terraces of Enlightenment,” was published. This led to a request for a slide show program from the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C. Locally, Torrey will present this work at 3 p.m. Nov. 22 at the La Jolla Library. www.MachuPicchuBook.com.
