Earlier this month I had the great fortune to attend the Epson Print Academy for the 2nd time in roughly two years time. The first time I attended I took part in Track 2, the more advanced of the two tracks offered, with Jeff Schewe, John Paul Caponigro, Mac Holbert and Greg Gorman. This year I again took part in Track 2 led by Jeff Schewe, Mac Holbert and Andrew Rodney. I wasn’t sure how much I’d pick up

For those that took an interest in my earlier post regarding Facebook’s revised Terms of Use “Facebook’s Terms of Use: From Bad to Beyond Worse“, news is just now coming out that Facebook has reverted to an older version of their Terms of Use dated September 23, 2008.

I’m happy to announce that JMG-Galleries.com has taken on a new look and feel and a new stock photography section has been added. In fact the stock photography section is itself a web site unto itself JMG-Stock-Photo-Video.com. Check it out and let me know what you think. I’m still putting the finishing touches on the site and will be adding several thousand more images to the existing 1200 or so photogra

Sadly the statement “Film is dead.” has been played out far too much over the past few years. While running errands in my neighborhood I noticed a long standing local photo processing business had closed its doors. The casual reader might quickly dismiss this, but I urge you not to. Why? We all read articles and inflammatory posts online about film being dead, but in this instance it really is. Yes, perha

“Mount Diablo rising above a fog filled San Francisco bay” was a little too long of a title, so I went with “Morning Brew”. Fitting as everyone settles into their Monday morning, but also because metaphorically this photo works great for a less than subtle plug. The past couple of months I’ve nearly dropped off the radar with my blogging as I’ve worked to complete a tedious project

This past Tuesday I returned to Monterey to photograph California Sea Otters and was joined by a few other photographers (semi-pro and professional). The last time out in the field photographing otters we witnessed rare behavior of California Sea Otters eating birds. This time we witnessed something so rare I doubt it will ever be repeated in my lifetime. Unfortunately for me I was 1/4 of a second too late in pressin
