Manhattan Beach native Gary Sweeney is a brilliant artist that has created an incredibly poignant tribute to his family in transforming his childhood home into an outdoor gallery of the family photos. Sweeney was offered high dollar for the property and with retirement knocking at his door, he crafted a moving testament to his father's legacy by printing massive images from the family photo albums and cover the house with them. Sweeney will finally part with the home at the end of the month, but the house serves as a touching example of the old saying about a house being a home.
