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?

“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.

On my last Sea Otter photo tour I caught this Great Blue Heron landing in the slough with great late afternoon lighting. If I had to nit pick I only wish I caught more of a complete shadow of the birds head in its wing. Such compositional concerns are never a thought in the split second needed to capture such a photo and only surface when editing a photo. Ah the joys and pains of being your own worst enemy.

The work of Mario Zanaria is the fourth of five prints to highlight from my Buying Prints from Your Favorite Photographers blog project. To be honest I got caught off guard with Mario’s photography. I can’t remember exactly how I stumbled on to Mario’s flickr photostream, but I did and I’m really happy that it happened. I really enjoy Mario’s photography and he never ceases to amaze me.

The 21st episode of PhotoNetCast is out. In this special episode the Flickr Collection on Getty is discussed. Take a listen: PhotoNetCast #21 – The Flickr/Getty Partnership From the PhotoNetCast site: On January 21, Flickr made a second announcement stating that invitations to Flickr users to start submitting the “chosen” images to Getty were being sent en masse. What does this all mean to photographers, either pros
