This Halloween is a little different this year compared to last in my household.  Humans are now out numbering canines in the photo assistant department. I still look back fondly at the 2008 photo assistant and 2007 photo assistant halloween photos with Curly, Moe and Zoe. This year Blake  (the penguin in case you were confused) is the newest addition and I think it’s fair to say he stole the show… althou

I’m excited to announce the release of my first iPad app, ePhotobook White Sands HD, a collection of fine art photographs taken earlier this year in White Sands National Monument, New Mexico. Features of Note: High resolution images, sans watermark, that can be explored in detail above and beyond the resolution of the iPad Previously unpublished photographs Exclusive essays Twitter & Facebook integration to

The past couple weeks have been an especially busy time as I put the finishing touches on a major project that has been 6 months in the making. In that time a notable landmark nearly snuck by unnoticed… the 4th anniversary of the JMG-Galleries Blog.  Back in September 2006 I decided to test the water with a blog and I’ve been hooked ever since. In fact the past few weeks have been particularly difficult a

Truer words have never been spoken and such was my time in White Sands National Monument, New Mexico … When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs.

In 2004 I stumbled upon an incredibly interesting area of White Sands National Monument while hiking out into the 360 square miles park, an area I can only describe as an ancient dune field. When I first discovered this area I photographed one of the many yardangs I found in this isolated area (see photo #2 in My Top 5 Favorite Photographs and Accompanying Stories), but upon my return in April of 2010 the formation I

Wondering why there hasn’t been a blog post here in sometime? There are multiple reasons some good and some bad. First the good… As you might have been able to tell from the photo above a new member of the family has finally arrived! Blake, my first child, was born on June 8, 2010 (6/8/10 cool ay?). As of this post he’s now 12 days old. My wife went into labor the evening of the 7th and I’ve b

It’s that time of year again. July 24th I’m going to be leading a photowalk here in San Francisco as part of the Scott Kelby Worldwide Photowalk mega-event. Last years photowalk through North Beach was a lot of fun with lots of great photos taken, but this year I’m going to be sharing a favorite spot of mine… Sutro Baths and Lands End.  We’ll be meeting in front of Louis’, a small

One of the most attractive things about venturing out and exploring nature is witnessing its raw beauty. Nature’s raw beauty is often put on a pedestal by nature photographers. Nature unadulterated or minimally edited is the intention of many photographers and by all means a noble goal. Yet this documentary style of nature photography is a narrow view. Photographers have the ability to bring their own perspecti
