Photographs as Holiday Gifts

It occurred to me today that I should mention the fact that my photographs are available as holiday gifts. (Actually, they are always available for almost any purpose, but that wouldn’t have been a very timely message, would it?)
While I occasionally post photographs here, I post my photographic work daily at my photography blog: G [...]

Issues With Photographs on This Site… and an Alternative

Due to some issues with my hosting company, it is quite likely that many of the older photographs on this site will return a broken link. My apologies, but I’m going to take this as an opportunity to change how I handle images on this site. With that in mind, a few comments and guidelines:

Smoke. Everywhere.

I escaped the worst of the awful smoke that covers vast portions of California this week by spending some time at near 10,000′ in the Yosemite backcountry. The smoke affected the views even that high, but it was much worse at lower elevations – as I discovered on my drive home last night.

Photos on Flickr

Stalking Horsetail Falls

Although I’ve been going to Yosemite regularly since I was perhaps five years old (and I’m not going to say how long ago that was… ;-) I’ve never managed to see the February marvel of Horsetail Fall at sunset. Horsetail is a seasonal waterfall near the east end of the face of El Capitan. During [...]

Rocky Creek Bridge, Surf and Fog

A photo. I went to Point Lobos this morning, but arrived before the gates opened. Rather than sit in my car for a half hour I drove south on Highway 1. This was my reward. :-)

Death Valley Photos by “w9jim”

I’m enjoying a series of Death Valley photographs posted on Flicker by w9jim, who apparently visited recently.

Time for a Photograph

I just noticed that there are no photographs on this home page – that doesn’t happen very often, so here is a recent photograph.
