Randy Tunnell

There are still many months before photographer Randy Tunnell’s long-awaited exhibit will be on display at the Monterey Museum of Art in the summer of 2027. That said, the artist is giving Weekly readers a sneak peek into what’s to come. Tunnell is at work on Know It Alls: Dedicated Docents of Monterey County, a photographic series and book pairing 60 to 80 of the county’s most significant historic and cultural sites with docents chosen to represent them. The project celebrates the wit and wisdom of these volunteer stewards, many of whom have spent decades keeping alive stories that might otherwise be lost. In the photograph above, we see docents Eleanor Morrice and John Hansen at Point Sur Lighthouse in Big Sur.
