This weekend in Yosemite proved to be quite a bit of fun. Fresh snow was not on tap, but the heavy snow from last weekend had the park buried. Road work was still underway along the northern loop of the roadway through the valley. This was a minor inconvenience and provided ample reason to take some extra time to explore the northern side of the valley by foot. One of the highlights seen in this area was this dated w

With much anticipation I’m off to Yosemite for the weekend. Roughly 1 year ago today I had the good fortune of visiting Yosemite valley after a fresh snow. Although it’s not looking likely that I’ll have the same luck this weekend it should still be a fun trip with numerous photo opportunities. If you’re in the park this weekend and want to cross paths email me. Happy Leap Day! Bridal Veil Fal

The great thing about nature is that it consistantly amazes. Case in point is the beautiful build up of lichen and moss in the trees at Point Lobos State Reserve.

I have to admit one whale came up right behind my wife and I and scared the hell out of us. The loud exhale of this giant animal can do that when you don’t see them coming. Pictured below is a whale and her calf diving. Before t

The end of 2007 was full of “best of” lists, but over the past year I’ve found that many readers of the JMG-Galleries blog are incredibly talented photographers in their own right and deserved their own “best of photo” attention. The results of this “Best Photos From 2007” blog project puts a twist to the normal “best of photo” list by aggregating links to the wor

One of my favorite images from last year. Taken on a rare clear day at Pt. Reyes National Seashore. The coastline seems to extend into infinite. [tags]landscape, photo, photograph, Pt. Reyes, Point Reyes, National Seashore, California, coastline, scenic[/tags]

I’ve taken my fair share of photos of Yosemite valley, but this is the first I’ve attempted taking in Infrared (IR). This was taken just before sunset as the last of a snow storm was clearing through the valley.
