This past week was the first week I abstained from blogging while not on the road. The reason… I had to regroup with my wife after receiving yet more bad news. As many of you know my dog Curly passed away 4 weeks ago this Monday. The following Monday a minor fender bender rendered my car a “total loss”, hardly a concern given the news we received a week later. This past Monday (the third Monday in a

On Flickr I’ve created a discussion for you to submit your best photo in relation to the theme “Rain, Mist or Fog”. Check out what your peers are photographing and let the fun begin. With a little luck

Last week wasn’t the greatest week by any stretch. In anticipation of “Baby G’s” arrival we’ve undertaken a bit of remodeling. Much to my surprise I developed back spasms as a result of moving items from one room to another. With a little extra time to sit still I took it upon myself to setup a Facebook fan page while resting. If you’re on Facebook become a fan and check in often.

I’ve been tinkering with this idea for a while and there’s no time like the present to see if my idea has legs.  I’d like to pursue taking the JMG-Galleries blog to the next level by including the writing of other great photographers.
