Will is a great photographer. Claudette and Jeff Burt are whiz-bang puzzlers. The Burt’s and the Sommerfeldt’s exchange puzzles regularly to put together during these cold months. A few weeks ago, Claudette asked Will for a high-resolution picture of his of the Coliseum. We have joked for some time about Will getting his photos made into puzzles to sell at Piazza Navona. (The Piazza is full of artists and entreprenures.) So, Burt’s took the picture and had it made into a 100 piece puzzle. What a FUN gift!
